CHAINSAW CARVER
WOOD TURNER
Based in County Louth I am surrounded by an abundance of inspiration for all my work.
I draw my inspiration from all that Mother Nature has provided whilst incorporating a traditional, cultural and spiritual ethos into my work.
Being self-taught, in a lot of what I do, I tend to work in a manner where a number of aspects will play a deciding role in how each piece will look. For instance, the shape of a piece of wood and the flow of it's grain can often decide it's own purpose for you...maybe you thought you'd make a nice bowl but maybe you uncover some decorative spalting within your first few cuts or an interesting grain pattern...now it's maybe worthy of being something more special like a lidded winged jewelry box.
The wood has spoken! Go with the flow!
A love of sketching & drawing from a young age has stayed with me throughout the years. I have worked with a range of mediums and materials over the years but naturally decided to stick with wood - probably because I grew up surrounded by it at times having a grandfather who was a traditional Wood Carver - there were always wood carving projects going on.
So, whether I'm -
DOODLING on some paper or
WHITTLING scraps of WOOD or CHISELLING out a RELIEF CARVING or TURNING a jewelry box, bowl, lamp, pen or a bodhrán tipper on my LATHE or
CARVING up a log with my CHAINSAW -
Attention to detail stays with me as my work evolves naturally.
Most of the GALLERY pictures are completed Wood Turned projects but currently I am concentrating on my CHAINSAW CARVING including sculptures, totem poles, garden art and furniture but I could turn out a bowl from a nice off-cut on my lathe during the week either.
Go with the flow!
Keep an eye out for a few up coming projects!
