Sculpture and architectural
installations
During
my kayak building classes, once the frame is complete, almost every
single person says "wow, this would look great on my wall!"
Over the years I've sold quite a few of these beautiful frames to
people who are enamored of their scultural possibilities. I've sold
everything from beat up old frames to add that perfect touch to a
garden, to exact handcrafted copies of traditional hunting kayaks for
installation in galleries and businesses. I also custom
build anything you can imagine requiring a light wooden
skeleton. I have no fear of swoops, twists, and curves!
Pricing:
- garden quality frame, usually
an old kayak with the skin stripped off $300-$600
- new frame, custom, modern, or
traditional designs $1200-$1600 depending on complexity
- exact copy of a traditional hunting
kayak built with driftwood, every possible detail carefully reproduced
to perfection $5000
- (exact
means that it is tied together with real sinew from animals I hunted, I
split and carved every piece by hand, every effort is made to build it
in the way the original was made. An exact frame comes with a web
page of the construction process, a photo documentary, and a packet of
all the known historical detail of this particular kayak, and photos of
the original.)
