This scene of an Orca pod is carved on wood.  The wood grain and colors provide a backdrop of sunset in the Olympic Mountains.  The orca pod was carved into the wood and then burned.  A light pine stain and a semi-gloss clear coat was used to bring out the wood grain.  Orcas are well-known charismatic megafauna within the Puget Sound ecosystem.  Salmon is a critical food source for the Orcas.  The Puget Sound has its own population of Orcas that is threatened by declining salmon populations.
