Sculptor Klatt Showcases Eagle and Other Wood Figures
Komlofske and Holcomb report on artist Jeff Klatt who carves eagles, a fish, and a turtle from wood. He has created about 100 pieces, with the Statue of Liberty among his favorites, and displays three works near his workshop. His shows last 30 to 90 minutes, depending on carving time at home with pine. Klatt began sculpting 14 years ago after being inspired by another craftsman and teaches himself. Debbie Klatt praises his work as impressive. He also works in a Storm Lake Iowa factory, using summer lull to attend fairs and pursue sculpting as a main career.
