curlyoak Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 This is in the gallery of Geoffrey Smith. A great artist, friend and client. Octopus by Geoffrey. Pedestal is red oak frame. Curly quartered white oak match grained panel. White oak top. My first post here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Nice looking pedestal ! That octopus is great too ! My first thought was " Cthulhu " ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Looks great! No market for the octopus here on the lake, but if he has Great Blue Herons, Bald Eagles, or Ospreys (from what I'm seeing in the background), he could sell them here.

wdwerker Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 I saw 4 pedestals on his website. I assume you built them all at once. Did you build any of the other bases for him ? That chrome pelican looks huge ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curlyoak Posted January 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 I first built 2 walnut pedestals. That gave me an order for 2 more with curly oak. And 2 more curly oak. Nothing else in the gallery. He has made all those birds and many more. If you google his name you will find his website and phone number. His art demands a high price. Recently Trump delivered a gift to the Pope of Geofferey's work. His old work has appreciated. He has animal statues all around town including a big sailfish in a fountain on a traffic circle. I have a new project to start soon. A wall unit using quartered white oak and curly oak in a frame and panel construction. I'll show pictures when the time comes...
