DONATION: “Tuudi, Soaring Eagle”. This eagle sculpture created by Frank & Sue Entsminger is a special copy created for just for the Wild Sheep Foundation. The bald eagle is a symbol of America, a nation strong, bold, courageous, and free just like our Wild Sheep organization. This eagle sculpture is a special copy just for the Wild Sheep Foundation.

Throughout Frank’s art career, his art fans strongly encouraged him to sculpt an eagle. A client asked Frank to do one life-size by a certain time. With a looming deadline, Frank’s lovely supportive wife, Sue, could see the huge project that faced Frank and she stepped in to help. Frank was excited to have Sue help with fresh new ideas on how to make the process easier. Frank engineered the base & the position of open wings after prey. He started with a block of foam to carve the first wing. Sue began on the tail suggesting making individual feathers not a block of foam. This really helped. After carving the first wing from a block of foam, Frank could see doing individual feathers for the wing primaries was the best. Together they worked on the other wing making individual primary feathers. Most of the detailing of the wings top and bottom were done by Sue, while Frank carved the body. Together they worked the winter of 2022-23 every day, putting in long hours bringing the life-size bronze eagle to fruition. The eagle sculpture is Frank's first ever life-size sculpture & the first ever from both Frank & Sue. The life-size bronze eagle stands 96” tall weighing approximately 330 pounds which includes inner stainless-steel structure for added strength mounted on a beautiful hardwood base. Entirely made in America. This piece is a limited edition of 36. https://www.wildernesscreations.com/package/pursuit/

This project was a product of love created with lots of blood, sweat, & tears by Frank & Sue. We sincerely thank you for the many years support. Included is a crate for shipping. Shipping cost not included.
