| Interests | For his lifelike animal carvings, Lane primarily uses tupelo gum, harvested from Southern lowland swamps. He typically plans and thinks about any project for a year or more before he begins to carve. He carves with a sharp knife and, for detail, sands and fine tunes with a power tool, then burns in each feather or feature with a razor-sharp wood-burning tool. He then seals the piece with lacquer and begins painting with gouache, acrylics and oils. Lane has won numerous “best of show” awards at competitions in several states. |
