...was used for these sculptures-? One bird has the following carved on the bottom-side as follows: "Mel Wallace, Nassau, 1985". It is 29" Tall, a very detailed carving & quite beautiful! It weighs about 9lbs. There is a vertical stress line on the front-side of this sculpture-It actually adds to the carvings beauty...
The 2ND bird has the following inked on the bottom-side: "Nassau, Rufus, 1983" It is 30" Tall & is a bit thicker in dimension- Also, very detailed & quite magnificent looking. It weighs in at about 18lbs.
I'm interested in selling them, but know nothing about their back-ground? Any idea's or suggestions?
I especially would like to know what type of wood is indigeous to the Bahama's to create such beautiful renderings. All input & feedback appreciated! Thanks!
