Carvings by J. Scott Reid

Sanderling Tiller
 Dolphin
Tartan Tiller
Eagle head
Some of Jeff's works, in progress!
The eagle in the background is one of his latest, waiting to be finished and mounted
I thought that I would show some of the carvings that J. Scott Reid has done for me. "Jeff", as he is known at Beaton Boat Works, is a self taught carver who specializes in bird and fish carvings. After watching Jeff gain experience, I decided to commission him to do two carvings for me. One carving would be for a tiller that I was making for my Tartan 27 and the other would be for a tiller I was making for my Sanderling. Pictured here are the two tillers; click on any picture to see a closeup of Jeff's work. If anyone is interested in having a custom carving by Jeff,  you can meet him at Beaton Boat Works almost any day, you will not be disappointed with his work.
