Wooden hand carved Tarpon created and carved without patterns. Each scale has been hand drawn and also hand painted. This gives a true iridescent look to the scales. Painted in watercolors so the natural wood grain will not be lost in the painting process. Then sealed with 6 coats of a high grade marine varnish that has a high UV protectant in it. This will keep the colors from fading and damage over time. Tarpon #2 measures, 27-1/2 inches in length, 10 inches wide and has a glass fish eye for a realistic look. There is a wire hanger located on the backside for easy hanging on any wall. This fish comes signed, dated, numbered along with its name by wood burning on the back.
