How to Get a Head Without Hunting
 A new image for
December 2006, this magnificent elk/wapiti sculpture is built upon
a sturdy handcrafted base that is somewhat smaller in size than a real elk.
Our artist Merikay glues the pelt of synthetic furs onto the base, and hand-crafts
the eyes, nose, and antlers using a unique combination of materials.A perfect choice for the home, office, or cabin wall of any true wildlife advocate. The wapiti is one of our largest pieces, and is featured in our How They’re Made section.
