WILDFLOWER WALKS WITH FRIENDS HEY… WAIT FOR ME! The story of the quail family sculpture in Friends’ foyer by Dick and Suzanne Southard Having lived in California for 20 years we truly enjoyed watching all the birds especially the quail. My wife suggested that I carve a quail family. We had watched many families and I don’t believe we ever saw one that didn’t have one of the young the trailed behind……that, prompted my carving and it’s name. When I get a vision I start looking at my wood and decide which wood fits which piece and the same with the bases. I had this large unique piece of Manzanita Root and had wondered how it might be used. As the quail carving progressed I saw it would greatly enhance this piece of art. I took advantage of the richness and the grain of Butternut and characteristics of the wood to carve the quail. I needed harder wood for the legs and feet so I chose Grapevine, a stronger wood. The top knot, is a slice of Walnut. I needed a graveled area for the quail to stand on. I discovered a way to make an appearance of sand, by grinding many different woods and combining them to look like gravel.
