This display will be running from now until October 15th. The local news paper will also be featuring an article about the display and my work.

Here is the carving that I did at Ridgway, PA this past February (2008). This carving event hosted 200 people from 14 countries. Each carver completed a competition piece and it was auctioned to pay for the event with the extra money going to the Appalachian Arts Education fund. My project ended up 19th place which I am very pleased with.

Welcome to my site. You will see a variety of woodcarvings on this site. One of the more unique mediums that I use is the cypress knee. With these knees I can do Santas, spirits, mountain men and a variety of other subjects. I have really picked up speed doing chainsaw carvings and charicature carvings. I have put several carvings on this page but additional carvings can be found under the Gallery tab - select chainsaw & others. I am currently working on a Chainsaw carving bear bench. I also have several "welcome bears" in progress. I have included a Pyrography of my Son and his deer from this past year. The pyrography can be found in the middle of this page.
I recently completed a Fireman Bear that I donated to the Tifton, Tift County Fire House #1. These fireman are a great group of people and I am proud to have my bear in their lobby. My son is also a fireman there and I could not be more proud of him.



I want to share a picture from a recent chainsaw carving demonstration that I did at the Georgia Agrirama in Tifton Georgia. I did this bear and donated it for a prize drawing held that day at a company picnic:
Here is a picture of a project that I did with a great story to go along - A customer wanted me to carve a 5' diameter oak tree that was a family heirloom. The story goes that a share croper family living by the tree, treed a coon one night 60 years ago. They went to the main house for permission to put steps on the tree to retrieve the coons. The family wanted me to save the dying tree with a carving. Alas, the tree was rotted and I could only save a few small sections of the tree. In the picture is the "dad" and the "share croper", reunited after 60 years sitting on the bench that I was able to do for them. By the way, the step in the picture is the original, and was reattached by the "share croper", again!
I also want to share a carving that I recently completed in the Lynn Doughty style of carving. It is not for sale but I thought you might like to see it. Lynn is a great western carver out of Oklahoma. You really need to see his work, it is awesome. I wanted to try to do a carving in his style and this is the result. It is a cowboy named Rattlesnake holding a branding iron, sipping a cup of java.
I have started a chainsaw carving of a tractor for a customer It does not look like much now but when it is done it will look great. Here are a couple of pictures of the progress.





Here are some additional pictures of recent carvings:





I also do relief carvings, cottonwood bark carving, gnome homes, caricature carvings, Christmas ornaments, canes and found wood. I use cedar, basswood, cottonwood bark, cypress knees, pine and a variety of other woods. I recently started selling Helvie knives and Cape Forge knives. These are excellent wood carving knives.
You will also find various wood crafts such as country crafts involving carving, folk art, handcrafted ornament, snowmen, carved gnome homes. Woodcarvings of traditional wood spirits can also be found! My favorite subject matter are animals but I also like various outdoor scenes and faces. I recently took up chainsaw carving and will be adding pictures to my gallery in the near future. Gallery has one of my bears in it now. Please check it out!
Some pieces are for sale but I also do consignment work when I have the time. I have included several carvings that are no longer available so that you can see the type of work that I do.
I am pleased to announce that I am carrying Helvie Knives and Cape Forge knives. I recently added thumb guards and carving gloves to help protect your digits during woodcarving. To view the knives that I sell please go to the Knife Sales button on the left. I encourage you to also check out my Blog at the following site: GeorgiaCarvers Blog
