Say hello to Tamarack and Sarabee, my latest pet dog sculpture. A beloved spruce tree in an Anchorage resident’s front yard fell this last winter. The resident wanted to commemorate the tree with something special and ended up contacting me about using the thickest part of the tree to make two wood carvings of the household canines and I was happy to oblige!

What do you think? Is there a certain breed of dog you’d love to have carved in wood? Let me know or leave a comment below. Thanks :)
