I've always looked at the Tarpon as being a throw back to the Jurassic period, which was the ultimate inspiration for this carving. I think we all have had some sort of fascination with dinosaurs at one time or another. I certainly grew as a wood carver while carving this piece but the most important lesson learned was patience. Each time I sat down to work on it I had to tell myself- one day- you will finish.
