Wooden Masaai Warrior

A life size Masaai Warrior was made with Tambooti wood with hair, clothes and jewellery. Named Philimon by his owners, he was shot by armed robbers during an aborted house burglary. Two other wooden sculptures of men can be seen at the Mbombela civic centre in Nelsruit. Ebony & Ivory were commissioned to celebrate our Rainbow Nation

Life Size Whale Sculpture
With the help of his son Shaun, Tony was commissioned to make a Humpback Whale skeleton from the wood they collected on Desroches Island resort in the Seychelles. The island has 15km of pristine shore with salt soaked and wave eroded driftwood. It took almost six weeks to complete using thread bar, coach bolts and steel cable, their tool box with equipment was flown to the site prior to their arrival. Desroches Island is one of the most beautiful in the world.
