Whale 30 " Humpback by Sunny Wood

30" Humpback Whale | Hand-Carved by Nantucket Artist Sunny Wood

A distinctive piece of contemporary Nantucket folk art, this 30-inch Humpback Whale is hand-carved by local artist Sunny Wood, known for his expressive wooden whale sculptures inspired by Nantucket’s maritime heritage, natural landscape, and enduring connection to the sea.

Working primarily with reclaimed wood, Sunny allows the natural grain, texture, and character of the material to help shape each sculpture. Every whale is individually carved and hand-finished using layers of paint and careful distressing to create the beautifully aged quality that has become a signature of his work. Special attention is given to the eye, bringing a unique sense of personality and presence to each whale.

At approximately 30 inches long, this Humpback Whale makes a striking addition to a mantel, console, bookshelf, or wall. Made on Nantucket, each Sunny Wood whale is one of a kind, with natural variations in the wood, carving, color, and finish that are part of its individual character.
