Environmental Creations carves its originals in Tupelo wood, a hard wood from the dogwood family. Stein believes this renders much more detail than clay ever could
He explains a wood is difficult. With clay, if you make a mistake, you remove that piece, add another, and away you go in starting over. Wood is much more challenging I have to envision the final piece in my mind ahead of time.
Another distinguishing aspect is the group’s incredible penchant for detail.
It took seven months to carve one of my favorite pieces, A bald eagle capturing it’s pretty; He adds, A The feathers on the wings are nearly the exact detail of an actual wing feather by feather.
Fans describe Steins sculptures as, Phenomenal; the most detailed work they ever seen.
Another unique aspect is that, the base of the sculptures depicts actual locations in nature that Stein has photographed. He hiked far into elk habitat to photograph unique rock masses, dead-twisted-trees and other natural scenes. He is looking for the perfect scenario for the base of a particular sculpture. An elk bronze, as an example, may be mounted atop a certain jagged, rock mass has photographed in the wild. We want the sculptures to be as individual and realistic as possible. No one has a better eye than nature itself for what God has created. It’s important we capture that.
