The carving is in excellent condition, with no breaks, cracks, losses, or repairs. It comes from a folk art collector and carefully taken care of. Please see photos for additional condition information. Dan Strawser has been carving in the traditional ways of his Pennsylvania German ancestors for over 50 years. The bold style of 18th and 19th century artisans comes through in his works and is a tribute to his heritage. A self taught artist, Dan began working with wood in 1969 while still living in his original home state of Pennsylvania. Using only a pocket knife, he carves his creations out of pine or basswood. The forms are then painted by his wife Donna Strawser adding another element of personality to the pieces. Dan's attention to detail and sourcing high quality wood make for creations that are timeless and ready to be enjoyed for generations. The folk art tradition truly lives on in his work.
