All winter Charlie Painter and Mike Hill had been hard at work, cutting steel plate, in preparation for the construction of the rattlesnake tail sculpture. They had made an excellent job, following my specifications, and in February I joined them in New Mexico, to help put the giant tail together.
Later I set some rocks around the top of the concrete plinth to give it a more natural look.
The sculpture stands approx. 18ft high and is proving to be a very popular backdrop in the group photographs of the many visitors to the
Chiricahua Desert Museum
