September 6.1989 First Place Finish for Wood Carver Children Anxious to Return to Orono School by Loma Miller The small diving duck with black and white plumage, plumage, a blue-grey bill and hard, yellow eyes, casts an arrogant look from his perch on the whatnot shelf. His arrogance is warranted. warranted. He just won first place for Newcastle Village wood carver, Wayne Yarrow, at this year's Buckhorn Wildlife Wildlife Art Festival.

SALES & SERVICE Come and see our display at the Orono Fair and a half, has won two awards at Buckhorn with his life-size, finely hand- detailed and painted, floatable floatable ducks. "I love ducks," Mr. Yarrow says as he poses with his creations ana the ribbons they have garnered for him at the Woodview and Buckhorn shows. "I've been hunting forever and we eat what we shoot." Mr. Yarrow, who admits to being "slightly hyper" carves to steady his nerves and keep his hands busy. He has found it to be both an absorbing hobby and a learning experience. Just finding the right materials materials alone, is a science. "I am using basswood now," Mr. Yarrow says, "I've found it great for hand tools and it has a nice, tight grain." "But, I'm going to start using using power tools because they allow me to incorporate more realism and depth into a figure. I'm going to venture venture into a wood the profe- sionals use called Tupelo. The wood has to be imported from Louisianna, but it is marvellous wood to work with power tools." Yarrow begins with a block of wood slightly larger than his finished carving will be. After roughing out the body and head, the head-piece is removed to be rejoined at a later stage. "The head has to be free to be picked up for carving, the burning in and painting of the individual feathers, shaping the beak and finally carving in an attitude." Mr. Yarrrow points out. The head is re-attached to the hollowed-out body with a screw. As the carving progresses, the head is permanently permanently attached with glue and painstakingly carved into the duck's upper body so skillfully that tne seam might never have existed. The detail of each feather is burnt into the wood, the colour pattern marked on with pencil, and then the exacting exacting task of painting and adding infinitesimal detailing detailing begins. "There's no room for mistakes," mistakes," says Yarrow, "The judges are mostly professional professional carvers and they search for every incorrect detail, every missing feather. feather. They measure for correct sizing of the body, head, eyes and beak. They don't miss anything. Even the body must he carefully weighted for correct floatation." floatation." Mr. Yarrow has invested approximately 260 hours in his prize winning winning Scaup and 60 hours in the Teal hen. That's a lot of time for a bird that has a show life of a year. "Once you have entered entered a show, you can seldom seldom show the bird again." Mr. Yarrow explains. He is considering going commercial with his works. Some established carvers earn upwards of $10,000 per bird, but Mr. Yarrow has to make a name for himself in competitions first. With all this in mind, Wayne Yarrow is off to the North American Championships Championships in Lavonia Michigan this year. He'll show nis carvings, but mostly it's for the opportunity to exchange ideas and advice with other carvers. "They are a good group of people. I enjoy talking talking to them." he states. Mr. Yarrow intends to expand expand his carving to include songbirds in the immediate future. This will add to his expanding collection of works. "I'd like to educate the public about bird carving, carving, it's hard work, but the rewards arè invaluable." (îîturçnà!
