Eleazar has grown his reputation worldwide as being the premier wildlife carver in all of Oaxaca

The copal tree is native to Oaxaca and is the wood of choice for most carvers

These grecas patterns are so meticulously and finely painted that an agave thorn was used instead of a brush in order to provide the fine lines that a traditional brush can't produce

The painting is very finely done with desins inspired by ancient Zapotec motifs which are found in the ruins throughout Oaxaca

Notice the amount of detail which extends to the insides of the wings
