Wood Carvings
by Gary Cooper of Wichita, Kansas
Hand carved
wooden pike mounted
This handcarved
11-inch wooden mounted pike is carved by folk art carver Gary
Cooper. The carving and attention to detail is in the lodge art
style with a rusted metal hanging chain. The pike has metal fins
like the ones of years ago did. Sometimes it got a little wild
in those lodges and the carvers didn't want the fins to break
in case there was a scuffle a little too close to his work of
art.
