| These Bird Pins were some of my first carvings. The natural wood Hummer is of PC wood- packing crate oak. I have made hummer pins out of dozens of different exotic and domestic woods. Cherrywood is everyone's favorite. They are finished with a natural oil and wax finish that lets the wood glow with a natural sheen.The Hummingbird Pin will be featured in the Jan 06 issue #13 of Carving Magazine. |
| I enjoy the challenge of creating a likeness of a favorite pet or other animal. 2.5" - 3" |
| Feathers are fun to do. The center Wood Duck feather is from an article in Wood magazine. |
| My insects are a challenge for my students, and for me. The Dragonfly is particularly popular with both students and customers. the Swallowtail Bufferfly was featured in the premier issue #1 of Carving Magazine, the Dragonfly in issue #9. |
| This was the first Celtic Knot pattern that I developed from reference material on Celtic Art. It is made of Cherry wood and is most commonly used as a pendant on a fine leather thong. This design, in walnut ws featured in Carving Magazine issue #5. |
| Experimenting with Celtic patterns led to this design which is carved out of one piece of 3/8" thick Cherry wood. |

 |
| All pieces are made of 3/8" Basswood and they are of my own design, unless otherwise indicated. |

| This variation on the painted pins has insects carved in hardwoods. The first two are in Walnut and Figured Maple, the last one is in Cherry. |
| This is the cat that wasfeatured in the article 'Carving Pet Portraits', in the fall 2004 issue #3 of Carving Magazine. |
 |
| This is one of my favorite Celtic designs. I call it the Woman's Power Pendant, but it can also have religious connotations. It is just a cool design. |
