ABOUT CHARACTER REVEALED

CHARACTER MUST BE REVEALED NEVER CREATED

“Nature is the artist. My job is to draw your attention to it.” Mike Clark

CHARACTER CANNOT BE CREATED - Nature is the best artist. The wood grain in ASH or Butternut trees are among my favorites to work with. Spalting of Wood is created through the waste of microbes infesting the wood its completely random and very beautiful. The wood from the crotch of a tree, where the wood grain is under the most stress, can be wavy, random and when finished, it appears to be 3D. OH, you can burn the surface of wood to enhance the grain. A boring, straight piece of wood is still boring even after the grain is burned. I do use fire mostly to enhance depth in a carving’s features.

CHARACTER MUST BE REVEALED - I always plan my works in a way that displays the character in the wood. I try to finish my projects in a way that showcase the beauty in the wood I use.

Working with wood is a passion of mine. I don’t carry much inventory to choose from because every piece I create is unique. Anything you see on this web site can be re-created and will be done better.
