This one is an abstract piece called "Trinity" . It looks like there are three main parts, but they are all connected. So it’s sort of a 3-in-1 thing. It's also about 8” tall and carved out of one block wood.

I'm impressed SC! I'm interested in sculpting, but have only just begun working at developing what skill I have at it with any seriousness whatsoever. Do you work in any mediums other than wood?

Each one takes anywhere from 20 to 60 working hours.
I am from Columbia, SC and I draw a little, prefer Pastels, but I think carving is my true knack is. I have only been doing it for about a year and a half. It seems to come naturally.

Those are really cool. Do you just od it as a hobby, or do you sell those at craft fairs and such?
My mom does GREAT stained glass, and she has been "commissioned" by us to make several gifts for weddings and showers. It is always nice to have something hand made rather than stor bought, IMO, providing you ahve teh time/talent do do that.

Really, Carver, that is truly gorgeous work. I am completely impressed.
I am from Columbia as well. Welcome to Hatrack. This means I am no longer able to complain about a lack of Jatraqueros in my area. Thanks for posting the pictures of your work.

I just looked at Frosty closeup. Love it. A few years ago I made a couple of clay Santas that i then painted, but your Frosty is really neat. Thanks for sharing...

Right now it’s just a hobby. But I am trying to work on some more pieces to start selling them. It just takes so long to make one. However I just purchased some new power tools which are speeding up the process. Power tools rock.
I am self taught when it comes to carving, but I did go to school for art, and worked as a graphic designer for a number of years.
Beverly. You are an excellent artist. Keep working at it.

Yeah, I usually don't appreciate more abstract art as much as others do, but that piece is really beautiful and quite moving in a way. I love it. Posts: 6415 | Registered: Jul 2000
