A shop owner from Oklahoma here on vacation commissioned as many carvings as I could complete in four days. I was able to crank out a life-size cowboy, and three benches (a bear, a horse, and an eagle; the bear isn’t pictured):

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 [...]

Just returned from Craig, Colorado’s annual Whittle the Wood Rendevous carving competition. After a long four days of carving from dawn to dusk, “Pecos Bill” was judged alongside 10 other carvings created by professional carvers from around the country. Unfortunately he didn’t place, but I was pleased with how the piece turned out – started [...]

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.
