Aboriginal Crocodile (full size)
Paulownia and cypress wood, Stainless steel, acrylic color, polyurethane.
18' long x 8' wide
2008
Robert Jones and I made this 3000 lb solid wood croc climber for the Steve Irwin memorial daycare for the Discovery Channel headquarters in Silver Spring. We cut down the trees, hauled 'em to the mill, dried 'em, Robert roughed them all together via my model, and I am proud to be called "Chainsaw" by my biggest little fan Ester. Mounted to concrete w/ stainless epoxy anchors, and bolted to a 300 lb stainless angle frame. Fun.
