Here are a few of my latest carvings.First is a large Mesquite that I put in wenge “stitches” it stands about 3ft tall and 3ft wide.Second is titled “all shook up” is a juniper burl with three carved feet.Third is Alligator juniper carved like a clam shell.Fourth is another juniper carved with waves and copper base.Fith is four hearts all carved from one solid mesquite log.And last is another juniper wave.
These are carved with a chainsaw then followed up with various grinders to further shape each piece.Thanks for looking!!

Excellent works. Your attention to detail and the natural flow of the woods is very very good. Love the “stitches” work! Great touch. Any chance of getting a better peek at the “paw print” inlayed table the first scuptures are setting on?

Scott – Amazing. Inspired. Exquisite… words fail, sir. God has gifted you with wonderful talent, and I thank you for sharing it with us.
Now then, how oh HOW do you create the pristine bark edge on your wave bowls?

I can’t find words that are not used by others before. So I won’t try.
But I realy want to thank you for sharing your work.
As well your bowls as your chairs are pieces of art.
