Chainsaw carving, my specialty, taken to an art form ... from handcrafted, authentic chainsaw carving of bears, dogs, totem poles and a myriad of other subjects, to unique signature piece furniture & sculpture. The chain saw is only used as the first tool used in this exciting carving process. Then we proceed to chisels, knives & varoius other power tools until the desired result to please both the customer & myself is achieved. From whimsical to stylized to realistic, an ordinary piece of firewood is transformed into something that will evoke an emotion within you. Whether it is a smile, or awe at the power and majesty of many of God's creations.

Formerly nestled in the foothills of the Selkirk Mountains in the northern Idaho panhandle ... nature & wildlife inspired my art.
On any given day I might've been out in the high country, or near a local lake or stream, observing or sketching what might be the subject for my next carving. Now, relocated back to my native Illinois, I'm working off these past experiences to create new pieces of art. Hopefully Yours!

Hope you enjoy looking around - Eric
