Outdoor Wood Sculpture Part 3
This is the third part of a series showing the process of how I filled, sealed, and finished large slab of red cedar for outdoor sculpture. I find that Gorilla Glue works very well along with some water and shims that I make to flawlessly make a strong connection. Stay tuned to see the public monument which will stand 8 feet tall in downtown Waxhaw, North Carolina as part of their 2024 Sculpture Walk
In fact, it will be unveiled with improvements at The Kaleidoscopic Art Festival in Waxhaw, North Carolina. Standing 8 feet tall, I carved the stylized Native American figures from red cedar. The monument honors the Waxhaw in downtown Waxhaw as part of their 2024 Sculpture Walk.
The Waxhaw were a Native American Tribe who lived in present-day counties of Lancaster, South Carolina; and Union and Mecklenburg in North Carolina, around the area of present-day Charlotte. They were related to other nearby Indigenous peoples, such as as the Catawba and the Sugeree. The Waxhaws were referred to as “flatheads” by early explorers and other natives. This nickname no doubt came from the tribes harmless practice of placing small sandbags on the foreheads of infants, resulting in wide-set eyes and a reshaped, flat forehead. This gave the Waxhaw a distinctive look, with wide eyes and sloping foreheads, which was said to give the Waxhaw a hunting advantage.
You can watch me finish and install the original sculpture here and on my KZitem channel at Wilson Wildlife Sculpture. Thanks for following me! Have a great day!
