John Perry Black Sperm Whale Mounted On Burl Wood

This beautiful sculpture was created by the renowned sculptor-artist John Perry. The Sperm Whale is molded from Pellucida with Manzanita Burl Wood Base. Pellucida:
Pellucida™ is a compound of resins developed by the Artist that is both durable and versatile.

Manzanita Burlwood: The base for the sculpture is the root burl of the manzanita bush. Manzanita grows abundantly in the high dry mountains of Southern California and Mexico. Manzanita has come to be recognized and valued by John Perry and other artists for its incredible beauty and variety of form. In the studio skilled craftspeople, most of whom have been with John Perry for many years, first examine each burl to determine its best use, then grade, cut, wax and polish it, and mount it with a sculpture to create what he feels is a happy marriage of the art of nature and man. Currently all of the manzanita used by the John Perry is harvested on a sustainable yield basis from a single ranch in Mexico under strict governmental control.
