Lot 25 Hand-carved Bobcat and Wild Turkey Poults by Garton Originals
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to own this beautiful hand carved Bobcat flushing two wild turkey poults!
John R. Garton picked up a carving tool in September 1987 to make his son a hobby horse. More than three decades and hundreds of wooden animals later he still enjoys watching his creations emerge from the wood.
Dr. Garton, a graduate of Ohio State College of Veterinary Medicine, puts his knowledge of anatomy into use by making his carvings look realistic. Garton carves his original creations from West Virginia basswood, pine, and walnut. Two-inch-thick boards are sawed into shapes and glued together to form a block. Then the carving begins. Dr. Garton has no artistic or woodworking training, just natural talent that guides his electrical carving tools through the wood. In addition, his ready sense of humor is evident in many of his pieces.
