This particular pole is of a Traditional Westcoast style, designed and carved by "K-" W.L. Kuhnley & with a lending hand from other artists of the group. This 8 foot tall Western Red Cedar pole was beautifully shaped, carved and nurtured with additions of abalone and copper inlay. The abalone inlay is crushed abalone pieced together in an oval on the Halibut. The layout or story of the pole is in short, Eagle with transformation within Man and Frog atop Bear holding Halibut.
We are a family - run operation and have been in the carving business for over 30 years. Bill Kuhnley Sr.'s work can be found around the world. There are poles on some of the Princess Cruise Line ships and several pieces were contracted to be done by the former forest industry gaint, MacMillan/Blodel head offices and Seaboard Lumber. His creative art was also the first totem pole to be shipped to South Africa, to a Westcoast Native Art collector, in 1969.
