Snake Life Carvings

Directions

Snake Life Carvings My passion for carving snakes comes from my love and admiration for these reptiles.

I’ve personally owned and worked with snakes for over 25 years so I have intimate knowledge of the size, scale and structure of my subjects.

Carving video of the gator head. This was a 2 part project which also included carving the Rod of Asclepius. A gift for my step son who just graduated from the University of Florida School of Medicine. 🐍🐊

Day 2 of carving my first gator head. Happy with the progress. Time to start fine tuning the shape and deciding how much detail I’m going to carve. I’m not painting thus, only staining to help blend my glue up together. I used 90% of the cutoffs from the Rod of Asclepius carving. 🐍🐊

First day carving this gator head wall plaque that will hold the Rod of Asclepius that I already finished.
