wood carvings

2000 (updated : 2008.03.25)

I've been fiddling about with wood carving for several years and small woodworking projects. I've only ever made a couple of decent pieces, but I enjoy it as a hobby.

I've got a set of photos that can speak better to my carved items than any text. It features the small figurines and slightly larger projects I've been hacking at over the years.

Below are some other projects.

rand()m quote

Immature poets imitate mature poets steal bad poets deface what they take and good poets make it into something better or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique utterly different than that from which it is torn the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion. A good poet will usually borrow from authors remote in time or alien in language or diverse in interest.

—T.S. Eliot
