Big Sky Carvers Jeff Fleming Bearfoots Pine Wood Carved Casey Black Bear Lamp
Big Sky Carvers Jeff Fleming Bearfoots solid wood pine carved “Casey” black bear in a log stump lamp (no shade or harp). There are some bits of white and black stuck to rougher spots of the wood. There are also some lines where the paint did not cover, one being by the side nose area, some at the neck, etc. These are just features of the wood that aren’t covered, not cracks/damage. The lamp part is not the original. It is a brand new one that replaced the old one. It measures 18.75″ high, 9″ wide and 8.5 deep.
Big Sky Carvers Pintail Drake Decorative Decoy-Man Cave, Cabin, Lodge, Den
This is a Pintail Drake Decorative made by Big Sky Carvers of Boseman, Montana. It has their branded logo on the underneath and it is signed by M. Michaels but not dated. Big Sky Carvers relocated to Manhattan, Montana in the early 1990’s so it was made prior to that move. Photos give a very good description. It is finished mostly with paints rather than transparent stains but wood grain shows in places. Also note, some of the paint is purposefully crackled, giving it an antique look. The Decoy is much larger than life-size measuring over 21 inches from beak to tail. It is 9 inches tall, 6.25 inches wide, and weighs nearly 4 pounds. Big Sky Carvers Decoys are all well done and we favor the ones made in Bozeman. We are not familiar with this carver and the name does not show well in the photograph as they must have used a pen low on ink. But what a beautiful job they have done. They employed artists from the surrounding area. Many of them were extremely talented and it shows on this guy. We cannot find even the slightest flaw in this Decoy. Pricing is a guess as we have not seen another like it. We invite your inspection and offer.
