This site will give you examples of some of the work I do. Wood Sculpturing (Carving) is a hobby for me having started in or around 1991. I will also be sharing experiences with the people and instructors I met in the carving community and their influence on my work. Although I primarily do caricature carvings, I continue to experiment with other types of carving subjects and painting techniques. I use primarily hand tools including knives and gouges. The wood I prefer to use is green northern white pine and basswood. For painting, I use both oil and acrylic paints depending on how I want the finished piece to look.
