"Deer Crossing" The buck is 75-feet tall and 60-feet long. Erected in 2002. Made from old oil well tanks cut apart and welded to form the shadow design.

Gary produced this tree to stand next to his gift shop...	...and this tree at his home is a prototype for a future project.	This is Gary's "studio" at his home -- lots and lots of metal and a wide variety of tools and equipment. He builds everything here in pieces and then assembles and erects on-site.

One of Gary's new projects -- moving sculptures that are wind or motor-powered.	Gary in front of one of the sections of his next sculpture -- Fisherman's Dream. He's holding the little paper model that he is working from.	Here's the tail section of the giant bass that will be featured in the Fisherman's Dream sculpture.
