This is another new wood carving is a unique one-of-a-kind scuplture by Jack Tribble. The scene depicts two quail, a male and female, in a light dusting of snow. The male perches on a cedar snag.

The base is 18" wide and is constructed from heart pine and settings are made from materials native to quail habitat. This piece is numbered and named and bears a hand engraved brass plaque.
Dimensions: Approximately 18' square base and a total height with removable case of 21'
Base and framing for 5-sided glass case are constructed from heart pine. The brass plaque is hand engraved with the number and name of the piece. Setting materials are all native quail habitat flora.

Rhett Johnson is the co-founder of the Longleaf Alliance and has recently retired as Director of the Solon Dixon Center. He and Beth Maynor-Young are collaborating on a book on the Longleaf Forest to support the efforts of the Longleaf Alliance. It is scheduled for publishing in the Spring of 2009. The longleaf forest is the most diverse ecosystem in North America, second only to the rain forest. It is said that the longleaf forest without fire is like the rainforest without rain. The Longleaf Alliance has an ambitious restoration plan for the Longleaf forest in the South. They have just begun photography on this project and hope to raise enough funds to have the photography completed by January 2009. If you are interested in being a part of this project with financial support Beth would be thrilled to come talk with you. Just send an email to beth@bethyoung.net or call 205-969-1800.
