Classic Southern Gentleman
Everything in these photos was carved--shotshells, leaves, grass, limbs, etc. All birds are life sized. The wrens' nesting can is carved wood. Amazing work.
Sam, Floyd can take weeks to do a single piece. This is his sole income. His pieces show up in Thomasville and throughout the country. Years ago, one customer sent his jet from California over here to deliver the check and pick up the piece. He met the jet at the airport. I have never felt comfortable asking him the prices, because I am in no position to buy one. I understand they vary from piece to piece depending on complexity. He doesn't have a web presence. It's all word of mouth. He had a two month show last year at the Telfair (Jepson) in Savannah. The curator overheard numerous visitors commenting on the quality of the "taxidermy" not realizing they were carved. Gil
