SADLY, PITS'S WORKS OF HIS SIGNATURE BIRDS IS DEPLETED.
COLLECTORS SO LOVED PITS AND HIS BIRDS THAT THEY SEARCHED EVERYWHERE FOR ONE OF HIS ICONIC BIRDS.
PITS ALSO HAD A HUMOUROUS SIDE TO HIS CARVING!
AND HE LOVED TO CHALLENGE HIMSELF.
HIS BELUGA WHALE COLLECTION IS ONE OF THOSE CHALLENGES.
THESE BELUGAS ARE FRISKY, MISCHEVIOUS AND RELEVENT IN THAT THEY ARE A CANADIAN SPECIES THAT NEEDS PROTECTION.

Museum quality Carving! Magical Colour!
PHOBOS (The Beluga) has the distinctive protuberance on its forehead and a small blunt head with a beak that gives a unique comical look that people have come to cherish.
Pits has picked the exact colour and pattern for him.
Pits has an uncanny talent for creating sculptures with the most individual colours which suit the carving subject perfectly!
Belugas are gregarious and have a high pitched birdlike sound which is why they are also called "sea canaries".
Our sweet tempered whale is preparing to flip his tail, arch his back and take off as only a Beluga can for parts unknown.
