Wood Carving & Painting

[clawmute]

Aside from normal heavy labor, cutting, Splitting, sawmilling, farming, welding &etc. I like to do these from wood. Many are from river bottom drift wood panels. All painted ones I hand sketch onto the wood first, then I wood burn the design, and finally paint with acrylics. These are only a few of the ones I've made. Being the son of a master furniture maker I guess it's in my blood. These are from 12-16" in length.

Top row, left to right White Oak leaf carved into a slice of Black Walnut. White Oak leaf on a Remington .22 stock, The one over the kitchen sink is made to resemble dogwood petals. The petals & stem are Walnut, and flower centers are Eastern Red Cedar,

Second row, Blue birds on the fence are on Red Cedar salvaged from drift wood, Wood Peckers are on White Pine, Whitetail deer & shale outcropping on White Pine, American Sycamores & shale outcropping on White Pine.

3rd row, The Bison (Buffalo to me) are Walnut and so are the Indian and horse. Black Bear is on White Pine, Gray Squirrel is on Red Cedar salvaged from the river bottom. All painted leaves, even the smallest ones, are individually burned in and painted. Some photos are with cell phone camera so may be a little fuzzy.

However it is used, wood is one of the most beautiful materials on earth. I have made many of these, mostly of nature scenes.

I like the fence row painting, the play of light makes it so real. They're all good, amazing! Thanks for taking the time to photograph and show us your beautiful artistry.

Have you tried carving on white oak whiskey or wine barrel tops? If you could carve them I can sell them on my web site. I have LOTS of tops. 1 inch thick white oak, the whiskey tops are 21 inches in diameter. The wine tops are 22 and 24 inches in diameter. The tops are dry, flat and ready to go.

I can give you my web site address so you can see them if you like. I don't know if I would be allowed to give my web address here so email me for more info.
