I love to carve wood. The texture of the wood under my fingertips, the scent of the wood as I uncover new layers, and the crisp sound of a razor-sharp blade slicing through the fibers; these are the reasons I have chosen this medium of mediums, this gift of God. It is my hope that you gain a sense of these passions through my work.

I invite you to view my collection of work, specializing in custom walking sticks, as well as many other subjects. Most works shown here are the result of private commissions, and are all originals.

I have had the good fortune to author instructional books for others who share my interest in wood carving.
