Yesterday I finished carving a 20-foot totem for a homeowner in Blue River. Instead of a traditional, Inuit-style totem, the homeowner wanted it to reflect native Colorado plants, trees and animals. The ‘stump’ was 20-feet tall, so I started carving at the top standing on scaffolding and ladders, and worked my way down. (It was [...]

I was commissioned by a Frisco resident to carve a fox from a stump near her porch. Half-way into the fox, she decided she’d rather have an eagle. Pretty pleased with how he turned out, despite having to carve him from what began as a fox. Two pictures below; the first is photoshopped so you [...]

Completed these pieces during the winter months, then came back to paint and weather-proof them. Really like how the blanket, canteen and gun turned out with the Indian. The last picture is of the completed-to-date stump carvings for a private homeowner in Frisco. 6 down; 8 to go.

I really enjoy doing fun, different characters and carvings, but I also get that people want bears. I can’t carve just another bear, though, so I came up with these guys (perfected in clay before wood): I anticipate these will eventually be some of my quick-carves for demo events.

Here’s a viking I’m currently working on. Not too much more to go. Carved from standing dead lodgepole pine.

I do a lot of carving, but that’s not all I do. Here I took a naturally S-shaped log, milled it with a chainsaw, and made a nice rustic coat rack out of it. Actually two, one from each half.
