Spellcaster

Red Oak Wizard – The Spellcaster – 12 7/8 high, 7 3/4 wide, 2″ thick. Took over 150 hours to create. Finished with hemp oil. This piece is signed and dated by the artist.

This piece of wood was rescued from the scrap pile. Some boards had been left in a pile to rot. This is what I found hiding in the wood of one of those boards. The mysterious Spellcaster wizard.

New Wood For Fiddle


I just returned from Halifax, went to East Coast Specialty Woods to pick up some wood for my new fiddle. I found a nice piece of Bloodwood  (red color), some Swiss Pear Wood, & Pau Amarello (yellow). Can’t wait to cut into them.  I am halfway through carving the belly (medium grain spruce). A little at a time! I am using scrapers & sandpaper.

I also have a new online gallery at Yessy.com.

Lots of great art to see or set up an online gallery and sell your own!
