Our Approach
We specialize in birds carved from natural wood, woodburning detailing acrylic painted carvings. We work in basswood, catalpa, butternut, buckeye, and cedar. We use accents with basswood, chestnut, oak, walnut, cedar, butternut, cherry, and weathered barn siding.
All of the carving is done by hand, with a fixed blade, as well as interchangeable blade carving tools. Band saws and routers are also used. in some parts of the process. Each bird is sanded, wood burned, painted and finished by hand.
