Скачать или смотреть Cedar carving craziness

The start of the artistic carving for this red cedar sculpture. I l think of it like archeology, as though I’m revealing something that was hidden within the wood.

For most woodworkers, gnarled and irregular sections of wood like this are undesirable, but I prefer them. In retaining these parts, I’m able to add my own unique flair to the form the tree took as it grew. Rather than eliminating the unusual, I find a way to weave it into my work. The result is a one of a kind piece of art co-created by nature and I.
