A wooden sailfin sculpin! Sailfin sculpin (Nautichthys oculofasciatus) is named for its sail-like first dorsal fun. They also have modified ctenoid scales that give them a velvety texture :) #woodworking#artandscience
Seahorses are only one of two fish that swim upright and don’t have a stomach so they have to eat constantly to survive. The females deposit eggs into the male’s pouch, which he carries for 9-45 days. He then gives birth to fully developed tiny seahorses!

A Rare Left-Eyed Halibut in Sand
I’m so excited about how this one came out! Most halibut are right eyed, but roughly 1 in 20,000 are left eyed. Come check this guy out at my show at Ptarmigan Arts May 7-9 or see more designs at AqueousDesigns.com#woodworkingwednesday
