In days of old!
Yes I use to have long hair, really long hair lol! I always liked this old pic. Goes back to some of the very first days of my woodcarving, as a carrier. The piece I'm working on there is a massive combined set of 4 boards of Elm wood. The carving is currently in my living room, and is 4 feet across. Happy Sunday everyone!

I like to experiment from time to time. See what I can do differently with my woodcarving. This piece is really one of a kind. I did a combination of recessed relief and full perforation in the work to add even more attraction and focus on the lines and weave. I should play with this method... read more
