The basswood carving on this cherry frame is a hibiscus. McDonald made it for his wife after learning traditional carving at the Furniture Institute of Massachusetts. “I stumbled across the work of Grinling Gibbons, a 17th-century English carver famous for his intricate lifelike cascades of flowers, fruits, and animals. I was taken aback by the beauty and skill of his work and after some practice, decided to try a project in his style.”
