  1. Projects Carving Knives with Roasted Figured Maple Handles

    I've been carving for a while and I know that nothing beats a sharpen knife with a comfortable handle.

  2. Projects Kuksa

    Made this cup from maple. I have always been fascinated by the Kuksa cups. Finally attempted to make one for myself. I’ll definitely be making more. I’m pleased that this one didn’t end up as firewood!
  3. General Woodworking Discussions
    Hi All, I am a wood sculptor/carver doing my first commission outdoors. I am at the beginning of the project and wanted to source from those with experience knowledge on how white oak seasons over time, and what, if anything I should coat it with. (oil or a "boat soup" is currently my thought...
  4. Projects Custom Carved Sign

    I got off the hook for Christmas early this year! My wife just expanded her bookstore to triple the size into a beautiful new building here in Kodiak, Alaska.

  8. Projects Restored Vintage Walnut Knife Case

    My mother asked me to fix on old knife box that had lost the screws to one hinge, so the lid was now floppy. But when she pulled it out of the drawer, I realized two things: 1) it wasn't just any knife box, it had been a gift to my great uncle (her mother's brother) in 1967, 2) it was in very...
  9. Projects In Progress
    It's been a while since I carved caricatures, but found inspiration recently from Doug Linker's YouTube Channel. Two months ago, Doug started a a project call the 1"x1" Whittling Series, which inspired me to do a similar series. The idea behind this series is to take a 1"x1" piece of wood...
  10. Projects Ricky Wreck

    This is from a Steve Prescott rough out that is available from Moore Roughouts. I really liked the big mustache and the right arm stretched out from riding broncs. I think my version is bit chubbier than Steve's? I like how it turned out, especially the face. Thanks for looking!
  11. Projects ”Glows” - from a simple pattern to complex designs

    ”What is ”glow”? A circle with 8, 16, …. is called ”glow” in my country: I learned this term when I was studying to be a woodcarver in the university. 2 years ago, without thinking at all where this might lead me, I carved a pattern in a circle, which I dedicated to my favorite Korean group at...
  12. Projects Carved flower panel

    I have hand carved this panel from reclaimed pine. It took many hours working only a couple of hours each day to complete it.

    According to Jewish law, the mezuzah is fixed on the door frame. The parchment inside contains a chapter from the Torah and among other things it says there "teach your son". Usually the parchment is hidden but I chose to show it, because that's how people who come to my house see it.

  18. Projects Hand carved horse plaque

    I recently carved this horse head on a horse shoe as a gift to celebrate a big birthday. I had always wanted to try to carve one of these and just loved the finished item, I really wish I could have kept it. It's carved from 2 bits of pine that I had to glue together to get the size I wanted...
