Woodcarving began for me when I was disabled with a back injury
that put me in a wheelchair for two years.
My first professional carving job was a communion table for a
country church it was made from beautiful old growth southern yellow
pine just like the church.
Letter carving requires a great deal of planning and layout. The
execution must be flawless. I have carved over a hundred signs by hand
with limitless variations in design. This is just one of many, it is
memorable because the carving was done in three days for a
Thanksgiving deadline.
