Wood

Maple, cherry, walnut, oak-what compares to the enduring luster and beauty of wood skillfully carved or worked? From a simple block of wood, it takes the carver's art and vision to release a soaring eagle or delicate birds that look as if they might take flight. Boxes, crafted to hold treasures, are, of themselves, works of art. Unique vases that capture the natural beauty of a burl, delicately carved woodland creatures or walking sticks carved in the finest Appalachian tradition bring one of nature's most abundant materials to life.

Our wood artists include:
Phil Capper
Jerry Crowe
Chris Kamm
Ian Hunter
Steve Duncan
David Koleshis
Jonathan's Spoons
Ken Wheeler
Lance and Kim Long
