Masterpiece Carving! Museum quality Sculpture!

Wayne is the son of world renowned Gjoa Haven carver Uriash Puqiqnak.

Like his father, he has mastered the "Grotesque" style of carving which is frequently seen in Gjoa Haven.

Woodman's colour pattern is dramatic.

It's as if the sculpture has been buried in the forest floor and has emerged covered in lichen.

The pattern is also suggestive of "camouflage" as if Woodman is a warrior pursuing his foe.

Woodman's grotesque facial features are fantastic; the irregular peg teeth, the large flared nostrils and the small white inlaid eyes located high on the forehead?

All the mandatory features are there and are extraordinary.

Woodman is truly an outstanding work of art.

Are you willing to let him walk away?
