Ryan Perry has painted as a profession since 1999 when he was just 19 years old. He is best recognized for his detail and wildlife realism.

Born in Utah and now residing in Idaho, Manuel Mansanarez gets his motivation and inspiration from mountain vistas and wildlife of the U.S. and Canadian Rockies. He believes "the best pose of an animal is when it is surprised or extremely interested in something."

Marquetry is the craft of covering a structural carcass with pieces of wood veneer and sometimes shell, ivory or bits of metal. The technique was developed in Flemish centers of cabinet making during the early sixteenth century, was highly prized by the French and decorates well-known seventeenth century French royal residences including Versailles.

Bob Dozier has been collecting the choicest of handle material all the 30 years I have known him. In the last couple of years he has found some of the most highly figured cocobolo I have ever seen. Of course, Bob also knows how to cut the wood to get the best effect. The result is some of the most magnificent cocobolo handles you will find on a knife.

In January this year, we arranged for him to complete a maximum of 100 hunters with a creative variation of the same theme. He has created images on both the obverse and reverse sides of the handle scales, not just a repeat as you might expect, but the obverse side has an image of the tiger walking toward you and the reverse side, an image of the tiger walking away from you. Very nice!

H. P. Klötzli has created a very limited series of Christian Wimpff's striking Gentleman's Folder with scrimshawed images of big game animals on Wooly Mammoth Ivory scales exclusively for A. G. Russell™ and Russell's For Men™.

Tales of the Mountain Men gathers our nation's finest mountain man writing into one riveting volume.

Bighorn sheep played an important part in early native American lives, which is evident from the many representations in ancient rock art. The bighorn is represented more often than any other animal.

Age old woodcraft skills of the Native American tribes provide the foundation for the development of the wood canoe. When faced with shortages of Native canoes, resourceful early settlers borrowed heavily from the birchbark canoe construction and design details to develop the first modern wood canoes. Using their knowledge of wood and the readily available materials, they transformed the one-of-a-kind birchbarks into practical crafts that could be produced to exacting specifications.

Hunting Dall Sheep is an extreme sport. They inhabit the sub-artic mountain ranges of Alaska, the Yukon Territory, the Mackenzie mountains in the western Northwest Territories and Northern British Columbia.

This 54" solid cherry wood canoe paddle is a beautiful complement to "The Red Cedar Trader" or simply as a display piece. Varnished finish except handle, which is oiled for comfort.
