The artist is shown above with the oak figure only hours before it was scheduled to be moved to Ottawa. Mr. Barber was commissioned by the Hudson Bay Company to carve the trapper for one of its large Ottawa department store complexes. By Donna Fairey The solid oak carving of the Hudson Bay trapper trapper is so life-like one almost expects him to raise his musket shoulder high and fire. Authenticity was of major importance when Ron Barber took chain-, saw in hand to begin his wood sculpture of an early Canadian trapper. He succeeded in Spades.

It's difficult to comprehend comprehend how Ron, an extremely extremely talented part- time artist who lives northwest of Orono, can be quite so modest about his most recent accomplishment. accomplishment. His only admission of artistic talent was drawn from a quiet revelation revelation that the Hudson Bay trapper is likely the best piece of work he has yet produced. Previous large sculptures sculptures to his credit have included a wooden likeness likeness of Prime Minister Trudeau and a cigar store Indian. Over the S ast several years, Ron as also turned out a vast collection of Canadian Canadian wildlife carvings. Each time he completes completes one of his pieces, an artistic inspiration surfaces, causing him to vow that the next sculpture sculpture will be even better. With the trapper scarcely scarcely finished, Ron is already already laying enthusiastic enthusiastic plans to begin another cigar store Indian. Ana like the typical Canadian frontier frontier trappers, Ron's Hudson Hudson Bay hunter made a long overland trip last Friday. The trek began when the trapper was removed from the Orono workshop where he has rested since last December. The destination destination was Ottawa where the sculpture will occupy occupy a place of distinction distinction in a large shopping complex owned by the Hudson Bay Company. It was the department store chain's management management who commissioned commissioned Ron to do the sculpture. sculpture. The $2500 price tag Ron put on the carving, seems grossly underset considering it took nearly nearly a year of intense searching to uncover the right pièce of wood. That was just the start. Ron then began the 300 hours of sculpturing required to complete the trapper. 'Die 1700 pound block of wood which was eventually to become the finished piece was once the limb of a giant oak tree cut from the Vincent Massey estate near Port Hope about 10 years ago. Ron considers considers himself fortunate to have located the fine chunk of wood which was virtually free of knots and other flaws at an area sawmill. By the time carving and whittling was finished the block of wood was reduced to a 450 pound sculpture. The wood carver says that 90 per cent of the sculpting he does is accomplished accomplished with a chain saw. Chisels are used for the fine work which is followed by an at- Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, May 18,1983 3 Christmas Seal People Hold Annual Meeting to Install New Management Tne Annual Meeting of Durham Region Lung Association Association was held on Monday, May 9th at Adelaide House Y.W.C.A., Oshawa.

Most of the seven foot tall oak figure was hewn into the likeness of a Hudson Bay trapper using a chain saw. tractive paint job, again keeping authenticity in mind. "The trapper was definitely definitely the most difficult sculpture I've done," he stated. "I usually work with pine and found that carving oak was like trying to cut rock." Ron received help with authenticity from the Hudson Bay Company which sent him a collection of trapper trapper photos from its archives archives in Winnipeg. Other jthan that involvement involvement they stayed out of the picture completely completely ana left Ron to proceed with his work 1 unsupervised. Apparently, Apparently, representatives of the company viewed samples of his previous sculptures and were satisfied that their commission would be adequately served by the artist.

Most of his major pieces have been purchased privately, privately, thereby limiting opportunities opportunities for public interest and appreciation. appreciation. The Hudson Bay trapper trapper could be the career turning point for the Orono wood carver. Its placement in the nation's nation's capital where it will be ogled by thousands thousands of people provides an avenue of exposure not previously enjoyed by the unassuming artist.
