Carving bowls helps me to live on the land
Carved Walnut Frame
Posted on July 1, 2011
Here are a few follow up pictures of a large walnut frame, featuring carved ringneck pheasants and the portrait subject’s name. It is difficult, I must confess, to photograph a large empty frame.
The whole frame against the bench.

Carved Rail for a Frame
Posted on June 9, 2011
Below are some pictures of the carved bottom rail of frame for an oil painting. The carving, in process, features two ring necked pheasants, as well as the subject’s name, and a few other decorative elements yet to be executed.

Tree Carving
Posted on July 16, 2010
I have begun the carving on the main front panel of a cherry and walnut hope chest. This carving is in cherry and features a shallow relief of a stylised tree.
Below is a gratuitous workshop picture with a goofy three-legged stool I turned out this week. The carved panel is held to the bench with hold-fasts.

Puppet Stage Front
Posted on February 26, 2009
This stage front is for a large marrionette, who narrates for The Two Deaths of John Beartrist Laceroot.
The narrator is named Jonas, thus the carved whale.
Carved Walnut Corbels
Posted on November 18, 2008
On the bench are the low-relief carvings of two corbels in black walnut, which will support the extension wings to the puppet theater. It is important that all aspects of the theater be given special attention. “Every day part of one day” -brother lesser apollos.
