<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 3191828, member: 8363"]I talked to Herb Brown of Birches Galleries, who exhibits Gilbert Hay's work. The base is not part of the artist's vision, but was added at some point. He thinks that I should get someone to make a bone or antler rest but this would involve in his mind piercing the original piece to anchor it. He invited me to return to Nova Scotia (which I plan to do anyway) and work with an artist that specializes in working with Indigenous artists and he could make a rest for me. He could also repair the base. Unfortunately, I don't plan to bring my camper when I go to Nova Scotia/Newfoundland again, as the winds are too erratic and powerful for my truck slide in camper, which sits very high about the bed of a truck. I can't carry the heavy piece and base on a plane, so this is no go. I will have to figure something else out if I want to use the base.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
