The Handcarved Preening Tupelo Swan by artist Mike Bacle transforms a familiar waterfowl into a study of line, form, and craftsmanship. Hand-carved from tupelo wood, the sculpture's elegantly arched neck and simplified contours create a striking sense of fluidity and grace. Finished in crisp white with understated detailing, the piece highlights the natural beauty of the carving while celebrating the distinctive character of the swan. Both sculptural and serene, it reflects Bacle's ability to distill the essence of his subject into a work of enduring artistry.

About the Artist

Mike Bacle is a woodcarver inspired by the ocean and the maritime traditions of Nantucket. Raised near Virginia Beach, he began carving as a way to relieve corporate stress and has now worked with wood for more than three decades.

His early work included full‑size swan decoys carved from juniper and cypress. Summers spent in Siasconset inspired him to create large wooden whales, followed later by carved mermaids—each with its own personality.

Bacle collaborates with his wife, Susan Lacouture, who paints the finished carvings. Together they create pieces intended to become heirlooms that celebrate Nantucket’s maritime spirit.
