Transforming Nature into Art: The Sculptural Mastery of Scott and Stephanie Shangraw.Alligator Juniper, known for its distinctive bark resembling an alligator's hide, is a unique and cherished material for wood carving. Its dense, resilient wood is ideal for detailed work, allowing artisans to create intricate and expressive sculptures. The natural beauty and durability of Alligator Juniper ensure that each piece is not only a work of art but also a lasting treasure.
"Ribbon Dancer" is a majestic 6-foot-tall floor sculpture carved from Alligator Juniper. This piece embodies the fluid grace and dynamic movement of a dancer in mid-performance, elegantly captured in the wood’s unique grain and texture. A focal point in any space.
TESTIMONIALS
“Thanks for the kind note and bio about the wonderful work you and Scott do, it adds much more to the piece when you can connect with the Artists behind the work. We have attached a picture of the wonderful Roots of Delight. It sits right in the front of our house when you enter through the front door. A stunningly beautiful addition to our home. Every time we enter our house we are reminded of our wonderful visit to Arizona and the kind people we met there. The piece is a talking point as our friends and family visit and has garnered many compliments.”
