A quiet moment over the marsh, captured in carved maple.
First Light features a mallard lifting low across still water as the day begins — wings spread, grasses bending, and the landscape just waking up. Carved with deep relief and finished by hand, this piece balances natural wood tones with subtle color accents that bring the bird to life without overpowering the carving.
The maple grain adds warmth and movement, while the hand-finished surface highlights every feather, reed, and ripple. This is classic sporting art with a refined, heirloom feel — made to be lived with, not rushed past.
Each piece is signed and dated by the artist, making it a one-of-one original.
