I am as mom and pop of an operation as they come. I don't mass produce my carvings. I carve one of a kind carvings, each one unique in their own way. I have never tried to duplicate a carving and really wouldn't want to. Where's the fun in that. I can do one in a similar theme to a previous carving but that’s about it.

As for my style of carving how about I tell you what style I am not. I am not an artsy fartsy kind of guy and you won't find that kind of stuff here. No deep thinkers here, just (for lack of better words) a cartoonist turned carver. I try to carve like I draw: fun, light hearted characters that hopefully bring a smile to your face or anyone else you may share them with. It’s as simple as that.

As for how I work. I carve in our living room, next to my old roll top desk. I don’t have a fancy shop (not that I wouldn’t love one, maybe) but here I can carve a bit and get feedback from either of my two boys or my wife, who, God love her, supports me dropping wood chips in our living room in spite of my carving apron. I swear it has a hole somewhere; I can’t be that bad of a shot. Why someone would put up with this is beyond me, but I am blessed and love her for that. As my wife has often said, compared to the dog and cat hair, wood chips are the least of our worries. Yeah we threw in some animals just to mix it up a bit.

So that is my story and I am stickin’ to it, I have no complaints, life is good. Thanks for stopping by and as Red Skelton would say at the end of each show,

Good night and may God bless
