Woodcarvers Raffle Hawk to Benefit Vibrant Arts Community

Kathy Stauffer

The PebbleCreek Woodcarvers Club is announcing another great raffle for a stunning Harris Hawk. This full-size hawk is often found flying around our community and landing in our trees and on our fences.

The carving was initially carved by Jim Taylor, one of the original members of our carving club, who passed away several months ago. Jim’s wife, Irma, passed it on to the club to complete. The carving was completed, painted, and mounted by Gerald Findley, another longtime member of the woodcarving club. The mounting post is from the trunk of a Texas Sage shrub sitting on a cross section slab of a Palo Verde tree trunk. Don’t miss the cute little mouse inhabiting the stump!

The hawk (19” tall x 12” wide) is displayed in the Woodcarvers display case in the Creative Arts Center. Raffle tickets are $5 each, or 5 for $20. A limited number of raffle tickets can be purchased in the Woodcarvers Studio/Quail Room during March and April on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9 a.m. until noon, or contact Kathy Stauffer at 515-571-6121 or Dale Sevig at 863-899-2244. Our goal is to raise $1,500 in ticket sales for the raffle by year-end.
