This stoic owl was hidden in my last piece of East Indian soapstone. It is almost white with some purplish markings here and there. I hope to find more of this stone since it holds detail very well and, like the dendritic soapstone, it is soft enough to carve without power tools. The owl is 8.25" high and is mounted on a 5" x 5" x 2" cherry base.

SOAPSTONE #3C It appears as though this owl heard you sneaking up behind it but it doesn't seem to be bothered by your presence. No matter which way you look at this owl, you have to notice the dendrites. There is also a touch of iron on the owl's left brow and wing. The back of the owl is smooth and polished. Standing on a 3" x 2" x 1" dark-stained
oak base, the owl is 3.75" high x 2.75" wide x 2.25" deep.

SOAPSTONE #5C This poor owl currently is my oldest piece, having been carved in 2006! Personally, I still like it and feel it has a solid, masculine appearance. The larger photos show it better. Although the dendritic pattern is strong, people tend to see the beautiful stone, first, then the owl. I like that Standing 5+" high, it is 5" wide, and 2" thick with a polished back.(There is one speck of iron on the back.) Its oak base is 1.75" high, 5" long and 2.75" deep.
Finally, a good home for this one! Price: $350.00

The owl is a bit over 5" long, 2.5" high and 1.75" deep. The back is smooth and polished.

We have returned to our SLC office this morning from our Virginia office. We knew that "the owl" had arrived and were very excited to get to open the THREE boxes. I don't have to tell you that he arrived in fine shape.....and is still as beautiful as ever. I am anxious to take him to his new home and am hoping that my husband does not want to keep him here in our office. We will take very good care of our new "pet". |

SOAPSTONE #10C The shape of stone will surprise you, as the larger photos will reveal. The dendrites are profuse but not overpowering. In other words, it is a nice piece of dendritic soapstone. The owl is carved on three sides and the back is smooth and polished. The owl is 4.75" high x 2.75" wide x 1.75" deep. The dark-stained cherry base is a little over 3" x 2" x 1".

SOAPSTONE #12C The mauve coloration is quite rare and comes from the same area as most of the other pieces shown. Geologists have told me that the manganese, that forms the dendrite also causes this color. In the larger photos, notice the two streaks of much darker mauve. Nice! It is carved on three sides and the back is smooth and polished. The owl is about 4" high, 3.25" wide and 2" deep. It is mounted on a triangular piece of cherry (I think) which is 4.5" x 2" x 1".

SOAPSTONE #18C This owl may see you coming, but it won't see you going. You will have to look at the larger photo to see where this one is looking. Obviously, this is a hanging piece.

SOAPSTONE #19C
This is very slightly out-of-focus, and I apologize for that. As you can see in the larger photos, the manganese is swirled and there are small areas of iron, too. The iron is always an added distinction, in my book. The owl is about 1.75" high, 1.5" wide, and 1" deep. The back is smooth and polished. It stands on a dark-stained oak base 1.5" square and .5" high.

SOAPSTONE #29C
I keep trying this Oregon soapstone but find it rather "mushy," meaning it is a bit soft for fine detail but works well in the abstract. It's a very simple owl with, what I think are, nice lines. The piece is 2.25" high, +2" wide, and 1.25 " deep and is mounted on a dark-stained cherry base, 2" square and 1" high.
