Circa 1980s/90s

An excellent and rare to market solid oak ashtray from Derek ‘Lizardman’ Slater of Crayke who trained and worked with Alan Grainger at Acorn Industries. Lovely depth of colour, no stains or damage and his signature lizard carved in high relief.

Derek’s early solo work features a fish carving but he later adopted the lizard carving after Martin Dutton, the original ‘Lizardman’ retired. Their work is often confused, but each had a distinctive way of carving their own lizard.
