The seven carvings below suggest a few of the many situations for which woodcarvings are useful. Following the images you will find a brief outline of the process involved in ordering a custom carving.
Carvings can be round, oval,square, rectangular or any irregular shape.
I prepare a preliminary pattern to present to the customer. After the preliminary pattern is approved in principle, I move to the working drawing, which contains the details that will appear in the carving in full size. The customer approves the final design. I prepare the wood panel, transfer the design to wood, and start to carve. The carving is delivered to the customer, and payment is made.
