The way the grains would appear to change as the carving progressed reminded me of changing tides

It evolved into what it is

Tlingit Hawk Mask Emerald Green Patina Bronze Tlingit Hawk Mask The way the grains wouldThis is a Beautiful Emerald green with a ebony wash bronze replica. The origional mask is carved in old growth red cedar. I chose to carve a Hawk mask because it isn't as common as the Eagle, Raven, Thunderbird etc.. I love the way the Hawks beak curls down and touches the lower beak. This way of carving the beak is the way it is recognized to be a Hawk. The Emerald green with a ebony wash makes this piece stand out . It is set up to hang on a wall
