My new workspace

Busy and exciting times ahead as I am building an extension to my woodcarving studio. I’ve added an extra room to give me more space for timber storage, tuition and more importantly to give me more space to carve.

Spirit of Nature

Spirit of Nature

This was a fork from a lovely old Ash tree which was unfortunately diseased and had to be felled. We salvaged this section of the tree and sited it in a shady spot. The idea of the design is to depict the “Nature Spirit” that runs through all of nature. Included in the design are an owl, squirrel, horse, dog, cat and some oak and ash leaves.
