A Duck Carving

A carving I did not long ago.  It doesn't have a title, but maybe y'all can name it?  Do you think the Robertson family of Duck Dynasty fame would buy it?

Annual Wood Carving Show

I am getting prepared (and more excited) for the upcoming wood carving show this weekend.  Last year was my first time and I came home with a couple of ribbons for my work.  I had a blast and I have been looking forward to this year's show ever since.

I have several new pieces I am going to show and sell (I hope).  The best part is getting to see all the beautiful work from other carvers from around the country.  It's a great way to draw inspiration.

If you happen to be in the area, stop by and look for the "village wood carver".  It is being held at the Baxter county fair ground in Baxter county Arkansas this coming weekend, May 3-4.  I hope to see you there!

What The.......

So, what have I been doing in the many months away from here?  Long story.  I began a journey that I had no idea would entrap me the way it did.  Here's a sample.

I. Can't. Stop. Carving.

A Gift For Mom. Wood Carving/Chip Carved Plate

I just finished this carving a couple of days ago.  Tell me what you think.

Always Kiss Me Goodnight Chip Carving/Wood Carving

 This is my latest carving that I am kind of proud of.  The design is all my own, gleaned from various objects.

 A close up of the oak leaf done in a positive relief chip carving.

The border carving took me one hour to get three inches.  The entire piece is about 31 inches long by 6 inches wide.  I had a blast carving it.  It is for sale, should you be interested, use the link to the right to visit our family Etsy shop.

This is a favorite of mine.
