Hammerhead at Night
Ironwood CrossHand carved out of a stump of Arizona Ironwood, this cross appears to have pushed its way right out of the log. Perfectly centered to the lighter wood grain that runs around the cross, the wood is mostly dark grain with the light outer bark left on the back. A custom made stand is shown below.
The custom made stand...another work of art.
Made of asymmetrical silver and gold colored steel ribbons, it sits atop a sandstone base and is topped with a thick custom cut glass which holds the cross.
Dream Catcher
Made up of an outer circle and interior webbing of mild steel with small copper wires to catch the dreams. Two fossils found on Arizona's Mogollong Rim add to the beauty, one of a sea scallop and the other a sea creature from many centuries past.Ironwood and mesquite beads, handmade by the artist, create their own dreams along with pink quartz, amethyst and Arizona agate. A slice off a geode from along the Arizona/Mexico border creates the center piece.
The feathers are hand cut copper with raw-hide accents.

Formed from the exceptionally hard wood from Arizona, this Ironwood cross depicts the blood of Christ with red coral inlay. Approx. 22" tall and very heavy!
Metal MacawThe body is made of mild steel, colored with heat by the artist's torch, with stainless steel highlights. He has an Apache Tear stone for his eye. Commissioned work - sits at the top of the bird feed rack at a Veterinary Clinic. Size; 3X2 feet.

His belt is braided copper, adorned with a rattle from a Western Diamondback rattler, and an assortment of stones and a seashell, because he was a traveler and covered great distances from desert to sea.
Ironwood Butterfly
This wings of this beauty was created from a limb of the Ironwood tree. The shape was not modified, the limbs grew in this shape and the artist recognized it for what it truly was. The body was formed of the root of the tree using special metal cutting tools to combat this very hard wood. She rests atop a shiny copper leaf.
