This is a wood carving of a wood spirit. It is a wall-hanging sculpture that will make a perfect wood gift.

I hand carved this wild man in a Pine knot. Pine knots are sort of like the forest's driftwood. Knots are formed on trees any place a branch meets the base of the tree. When the tree falls down, dies and decays back into the earth, all that remain are the pitch-filled, resilient knots. The knots can lie on the forest floor for years and years while remaining in tact. Some say there are spirits that inhabit the knots which allow them to remain for so long. My job is to release the spirits :)
Everything in my shop is made by hand, by me Josh.

I carve using rotary hand tools. All of my work is produced by my two hands and is one-of-a-kind. I start with a regular old piece of wood and use my mind and hands to shape the wood into what I envision.
This carving is sealed with polyurethane. This is a wall-hanging sculpture. I sign and date the backs of all of my wood spirit carvings. I also include a certificate telling a bit about me and my process.

I really enjoy creating themed walking sticks such as Odin, Thor, Baron Samedi or many, many other possibilities. If you'd like a stick with bears, owls, or whatever else you might have in mind, just shoot me a message and we can discuss it.
I am also happy to make custom chainsaw carvings of about any animal or object you'd like.
I know that, as a customer, you expect a certain level of control over the custom process and I, as an artist, expect a certain level of freedom. When we are able to meet in the middle, beautiful things can happen :)

My carvings can be cleaned using many different methods. A feather duster works nicely. Compressed air (duster or air compressor) also works well. If on a porch or indoors, my carvings will never need a new coat of sealer. Chainsaw carvings that are outdoors will need a fresh coat of sealer each year.
