A sampling of my Wood Carvings some better than others, some old and some new. They are not in any particular chronological order at this time. I became inspired to carve wood after being stationed in Augsburg, Germany in the mid-70's and I am still trying to find my niche in carving, hence the wide variety. All, except the bear, are carved by hand using knives and gouges. The "instructor assisted" carvings were started in a class where an instructor demonstrated the carving technique and then the student carvers in the class did what s/he demonstrated -- most of these carvings were finished at home. I have been doing a lot of caricatures lately to learn carving faces and mistakes are easier to hide!
