Here are some examples and the variety of projects I have carved during my woodcarving adventures.
Each carving is one of a kind and the patterns are my originals.

The only one here that isn't mine is the angel birdhouse, a Chris Whillock design, that was in The Carving Magazine as a project.  The pictures are just to present to you.

My style (that's what they call it) and what a artist/woodcarver/wood turner can do with a chunk of wood or other mediums. Maybe a little of imagination. Some of these projects where designed for the customer (called commissions) and we worked together to design own special theme.

I do not repeat my carvings. Some may look alike but they are not exactly carved the same. I get very bored doing the same thing over and over. It's not fun carving that way. So I don't! I hope you enjoy viewing my carvings and each one has a special place in my heart. I don't have every picture listed as some left before I thought of taking a picture. But I learned the hard way and now make sure I have the picture before it goes out the door!
*I didn't realize how many mediums I was in, or how much carving I did and this isn't all of my carvings since 1996. Come back...I'm sure I'll be adding future projects, of what? You'll have to come back for another visit. I hope you do. :-)

Enjoy.
 
   
                                                                                       
                     This is where it all began!                             I decided since I wimped out carving both
               Ahhh,,,my first taste in mallet carving.              eyes the first time, on the next one, I had
                                                                                         better try carving both eyes! This is the project
                                                                                    that developed into designing for an actual a birdhouse.

Some styles of my hand carved birdhouses for the bluebird, wren, and chickadee.
I do NOT use power tools when carving my birdhouses or butterfly houses.
Many of these were commission projects and designed for their own decor.

-Moose antler carvings-
My carving adventure with antlers. And YES, you have to use power for carving on antlers and DO NOT
inhale the dust of antler carving, bacteria within the antlers can damage your lungs! I added close shots of the eagle carving. LOTS of detailing isn't it? I sure had a lot of fun with this one! My husband thinks I have WAY too much time on my hands! I enjoyed the experience, but I went back to my love of creating with wood.

-My wood turning projects-  
I'm afraid this year, I have discovered wood turning! Not MY fault. It's my HUSBANDS fault, really. He's the one that bought me the lathe. (sweetheart isn't he?, I think so!) Hey, if it keeps me out of the kitchen or doing housework..what do you think I would choose to do?  YUP-in my studio to play..I mean work....yeah right! So these are my latest turning. Be gentle ok? I only have been turning for a few months. And you know what?
 IT'S A BLAST!

These turned bowls are from the cypress knee.
