BOB URICK and ARK #5

I have always enjoyed artistic hobbies such as oil and water color painting. In 1997 I became interested in woodcarving and discovered I enjoyed it and seemed to have a talent for creating figures out of wood. I started with folk-art Santas, Christmas wall hangings and shore birds. My first large project was a cigar store Indian that was 27" tall. Wanting to make a unique Christmas gift for my wife I decided on a Noah's Ark complete with 20 pairs of animals. The response from friends and family was very encouraging and I have just completed Ark #5. Numbers 2, 3, 4 and 5 have sold and I will continue to make these one of a kind future antiques.
