Winston C. Smith has been carving since 2007 and has been recognized as one of the best carvers in the world. He has combined this skill with 30 years of experience painting wildlife on canvas plus 10 years of taxidermy to produce amazingly realistic works. Winston has won numerous awards and top prizes throughout North America since he started carving competively in 2010.
All pieces are carved exclusively using Tupelo wood from the swamps of Louisiana, acrylic paints, and high-quality glass eyes from Europe. The bases, which represent the subject's habitat, are made primarily using Basswood plus paper which is considered a wood product. Tupelo is the wood of choice for many competitive carvers and all materials used conform to the requirements of competition.
