"BEAR RATTLE" ****Please note, there is a crack shown in the pictures, it does not affect the rattle and you can't see it when it's hanging up**** It might be a natural crack in the cedar or where he cut it open to add the rattle beads.  I am not sure, didn't notice it before, but the rattle sounds great and it really is a beautiful carving.
Authentic Northwest Coast Native Art by Richard E. Baker Born February 12, 1962 Richie is a member of the Squamish Band in North Vancouver, BC, Canada.  Richard is an internationally known artist for his Northwest Coast Art creations, and he is also an entrepreneur in the construction and the timber industries.  Richard’s entire lineage has been native artists, recorded from his maternal grandmother, Katherine Scow, who was of the KwaKawk’kwa Peoples in the Northwest Pacific Coast Region. Richie started carving out of curiosity rather than a career.  At the young age of 12 he watched his father and other carvers creating beautiful totem poles and masks out of cedar wood, he then picked up a carving knife and started to create his own pieces of work. His curiosity turned into his passion, a passion of learning and creating, which has led to a regular clientele base and an interest in his work from admirers around the world. Richie was often invited to participate in crafts fairs locally, regionally and nationally. At Expo ’86 in Vancouver, he met many collectors, Gallery owners and museum directors.  He was invited to carve in Montreal and Toronto at several settings. After many years of mastering the carving techniques on wood, Richie decided to take on metal.  Learning the intricate details of engraving precious metals such as gold, platinum, silver and copper brought him another passion of creating North West designs that admirers near and far all appreciate. In 1996, Richie has established his own studio at Capilano Reserve in North Vancouver completing custom orders for weddings, anniversaries, and other personal and business gifts.  He has been commissioned by a number of Corporations and First Nations organizations throughout Canada for jewelry as well as cedar woodcarvings. Richie has another passion in teaching the craft.  He enjoys teaching young generation artists the skills of carving wood and metal.  He has a style of his own that somehow rubs off on his pupils. Richie comes from a rich and live cultural, of which he is proud of both hi Kwakwakawk and Squamish heritage.  Richie is a community-based person and takes upon himself to help out other artists by supporting their work and their aspirations.  Richie has three sons who also are gifted and talented artists in their own right.
