I used to do alot of wood carving. I really like the style of the Haida peoples. Western Canadian Aboriginals. Or First Nations people.
I've taken many trips all over British Columbia to study their art first hand. There are many styles up and down the west coast of Canada.
I haven't done any since relocating to the US though. But I'll get back into someday.
I started after seeing the movie Shawshank Redemption. There was a late snowfall that broke a big branch off a tree in my yard. So I made a king chess piece. Just using a knife and sandpaper. It looked so good I made a whole set. Stained one in a nice light colour, and the other in a dark cherry stain.
And bought a Dremel and all kinds of bits, and knives, and carving tools.
Art is fun and really relaxing. I used to make personal birthday gifts for my family members based on their individual likenesses of specific animals. My wife it was Orcas. My dad was Loons... My mom it was religious symbols. Crucifixes, etc.
Thanks again for sharing.
One thing... How big are these prints ?
