Virgil Butler

Creating nature from a piece of worn natural wood is what I do.  Usually I find fish or other subjects from nature to carve in a single piece of "natural" wood from the mountains of Idaho or from purchased hardwood to create your next art purchase.  Contact me on  www.fishcarvers.com
