Sorry, this item has sold.

This is a wood carving of a wood spirit. It is a hand carved woodworking that makes a perfect birthday gift.

11" tall, 2 1/4" wide, 2" thick....

Wall hanging.....I signed and dated the back of this carving. I include a certificate with all of my wood spirit carvings that tells a bit about me and my process.

"Knot Today".....

I created this sculpture in a Pine knot. Pine knots are sort of like the forest's driftwood. Any place the branch of a Pine meets the base, a knot is formed. When the tree dies, rots and decays back into the earth, all that remain are the knots. The pitch-filled, resilient knots can remain in tact, on the ground, for years and years. It is said that spirits inhabit the knots that allow them to remain in tact. My job is to release the spirits :)

I carve using rotary hand tools. Some of the detail bits that I use are as thin as needles. I add just a tad of oil paint to accentuate my cuts.

Everything in my shop is made by hand, by me, Josh.

Frequently Asked Questions

Custom and personalized orders

Yes, I sometimes take custom orders :) Contact me and we can discuss the specifics.

I really enjoy creating themed walking sticks such as Odin, Thor, Baron Samedi or many, many other possibilities. If you'd like a stick with bears, owls, or whatever else you might have in mind, just shoot me a message and we can discuss it.

I am also happy to make custom chainsaw carvings of about any animal or object you'd like.

I know that, as a customer, you expect a certain level of control over the custom process and I, as an artist, expect a certain level of freedom. When we are able to meet in the middle, beautiful things can happen :)

Don't be afraid to message me :) Thanks so much!

Care instructions

My carvings can be cleaned using many different methods. A feather duster works nicely. Compressed air (duster or air compressor) also works well. If on a porch or indoors, my carvings will never need a new coat of sealer. Chainsaw carvings that are outdoors will need a fresh coat of sealer each year.
