Most of my carvings are roughed out with a chainsaw, then refined with chisels and rotary tools. I finish up with oil or acrylic paint, and then three or more coats of varnish.

I am accepting local orders for custom pet portraits. Available in watercolour, coloured pencil, pastel, or mixed media. Default surface is a round basswood plaque with a keyhole slot in the back for easy hanging. Other surfaces are also available, such as special heavyweight papers, cedar slabs, and canvas.

All of my wooden hair clips are handcrafted from locally-sourced upcycled wood. Offcuts from building projects, woodcarvings, and even some longbows have contributed wood material to my barrette clips. The metal clips are both glued and screwed to the back of the barrette for strength and durability.

A handmade stuffed doll is a wonderful way to preserve the memories in favourite clothes, blankets, and craft items such as buttons or beads.
