Life-size Mountain Gorilla and Her Baby, Rare Hawaiian Teakwood! Sculpture

Life-size mountain gorilla with her baby carved from 1.5 cubic meters of solid, rare, Hawaiian teakwood. The piece weighs approximately 400lbs. When I saw the teakwood with the lump on it I immediately saw gorilla, then baby on gorilla; maybe because of my affection for gorillas. I attempted carving realism while giving the gorillas an appealing, peaceful expression and possibly a more healthy, robust physique. I created the technique making the fur realistic using a box cutter and wire brush. The wood was stained ebony for natural color of the mountain gorilla and to preserve the wood. The piece took approximately 300 hours to complete. It is signed by me plus a 5ct Tanzanite gemstone embedded with the signature. This would be a great piece to have a mould made for a bronze to display, like at a primate exhibit! 400 years from now this piece may likely still be around; unfortunately for the mountain gorilla there may not be any left in the wild. There are less than 1000 left in their natural habitat. Because of this I wish to do whatever helps and will offer 10% of my profits to whichever organization the collector/buyer chooses that will use these funds for the welfare of the mountain gorilla and their habitat.
