One of his most impressive projects to date is a unique bar top made from locally sourced catalpa.

A carved crocodile rises from the center of the table, its body and head emerging from the water.

It took Dow about 100 hours to finish the stunning piece.

The end result is an incredible piece of furniture that is also a work of art.

As Dow’s croc rises from the water, its body causes little ripples across the surface.

While some technical obstacles arose during the making of the sculpture, Dow rose to the challenge.

He hopes that by looking at this piece, people realize that anything is possible.

Woodworker Scott Dow recently made an impressive bar top that features a crocodile.

The crocodile seems to emerge from the wood, baring its teeth.

Dow was inspired by a small sculpture of a carved fish emerging from wood.

He challenged himself to see how the concept would work on a large scale.

He estimates that it took about 100 hours to bring his vision to life.
