About "One Tusk"

Elephants often loose a tusk through fighting or trying to prise a branch away. Sometimes they grow back but generally the loss of a tusk is not detrimental to their wellbeing.
Here I have used the shape of a branch to enclose the image and used bas relief carving to accentuate him. In addition, the folds of his trunk are carved and heavily burnt creating a unique realistic effect.

About Roy

Roy Gibbs

Originally from Ipswich in the UK, I emigrated in 1979, working for a British company, and remained here in this beautiful, exciting country ever since. I live on the edge of the Moot valley with a vista of the Magaliesberg mountains and a garden full of birds. Karee, Hookthorn and Pink Ivory trees grow around the house, Stamvrug and Milkwood on the hillslopes behind us.
I have been woodturning for 25 years and in the last few years I have been incorporating pyrography into my work to the extent that my turning is becoming incorporated into my pyrography. It delights me that I can combine my love of wildlife with working with wood and that I can see so many avenues to explore in the future. Finding ways to combine these 2 skills into desirable art work is a very fulfilling occupation. I hope you enjoy what you see and I welcome any comments, complimentary or not.
