Hand Carved Goods
“Woodworking, especially green woodworking, offers a unique way to connect to the landscape. Many of my bird bowls are modeled after species that live in my home region and are created with materials from local forests”
These items are made from locally harvested woods. With most pieces requiring over 10hrs of detailed work, these are true pieces of art. The turned interior and hand carved exterior creates textured surfaces with the final touches being with food safe milk paint and a walnut oil/beeswax mix.
