Digging through my archive of images, I realised that I forgot to post these. A set of trophies for the World Enduro Series 2015 which was part of the Tweedlove bike festival. I created designs based on three animals found in the Tweed Valley, namely red squirrel, osprey and salmon (designs © Hatch, Burn, Carve/Martin Wilson).

The Picts never left any carvings of squirrels, so I studied photographs of red squirrels, a guide to draw such animals and an image in my mind of how a Pict might carve such a creature (Design © Hatch, Burn, Carve/Martin Wilson).

I carved the Pictish squirrel from a rough, reclaimed roof slate (complete with nails holes).
