[Woodcarver] What do you carve?

[Donna Menke]

Great work, Steve. I've done a little of the scrimchaw and it is difficult. You have a nice uncluttered look to your designs that is most attractive.
Do you use power for carving the ivory?

Hi there Bev....

 

I am in Alaska as well.  Southeast in the 
Ketchikan area, on Annette Island.  I do a wide range of things, mostly 
scrimshaw and gunstocks.  The later are my specialty.

Check out my site as well to see the gunstocks 
that I have done.

 

Best Regards,

 

Steve

  Denny -

   

  Thanks so much for the response.

   

  I would love to become involved in the Veteran's Memorial Cane Project - 
  how do I do that?

   

  I carve canes and I'm working on learning to do gun stocks.

   

  I'm in Alaska right now - will be here until October.  Diamond 
  Willow country.  I bought some, but we're getting a little saw and 
  heading out to the woods to collect more.

   

  Thanks again!

   

  Bev Holloway

  Bev,

I changed the subject line to reflect what 
  you are actually discussing in the email.  

I make canes for the 
  Veteran’s Memorial Cane Project.  The toppers are all the same, but the 
  shanks are all quite different.  I also make them for clients as well. 
   I am presently working on one with a House Sparrow topper, one with a 
  Giraffe topper & one with a Leopard topper.  I also make cups with 
  relief carvings on them.  I am finishing up one with a fly fisherman 
  & a trout, one with 2 wolves on it, one with 2 hawks, one with praying 
  hands on one side and Jesus on the cross on the other, & one with a 10 
  point Whitetail buck on one side and the “going away” view of the white 
  tail on the other.  I also have a commission to do one with a Bull on one 
  side and a Bear on the other for a stock broker.  I have started a few 
  fish, but they don’t get it for me and I have yet to do a gunstock. 
   

So you see, there are carvers that do other stuff than 
  Santa’s, but we must be the quiet ones.
