Customer bought this piece but asked for it to be taller. So I added a 2ft base. A little sad to see this one go but I know the customer has the perfect spot for it and will appreciate it for many years.

Merry Christmas everyone!
Still looking for that special gift?
Running out of time?
Final week of Artsolutely all pieces pictured are available and ready to make this Christmas one to remember.
This Saturday from 12-5 at Artsolutely. There is a bunch of different art demos including myself carving. Free hot chocolate bar, art activities for the kids and much more. Come check it out at the art center in polson park.
Last Christmas market of the year. Today from 3-7. Lots to do including, fireworks, bc winter games torch lighting, fire dancers, 20+ vendors and last but not least live carving demos.
Golden eagle commission complete and I was given permision to post it.
Well I can say with 100% certainty I gave this carving my all. I truly hope the customer is happy with it as this is the best I could do. This was definitely a huge step for me as an artist and pushed me to grow. Wish me luck as I present this piece to the customer at the end of the week.
Todays progress. This piece is pushing me so far past what I thought I was capable of. Still some tweaking left to do but I think I need to step away from it for a bit. Its getting close!
The incredible paintings by Gabrielle Stong behind my bench proves this piece needs a home with a great view. Don't forget to go down to Artsolutely at the vernon art center this month to see all the incredible artwork that is up for sale.
Started the hardest project of my short career so far. Still a long ways to go but im making progress
Artsolutely opens on Thursday. A portion of all sales go back to the art center to fund art programs and classes for the community. Come down throughout the month of December. So many artist and makers to get your Christmas shopping done with. Support local.
I received some awesome action shots from one of my live carves at predator ridge over the weekend. The pictures were taken by Olya Krasavina of YumsterLife Photography
I pulled it off. 90 minute single block live ice carve. What a great event. Thank you Vernon Winter Carnival Society for having me and putting together another event for the community.

Todays progress on a 4.5 ft soaring eagle. So far this piece is all chainsaw no other tools yet. I will let it dry out for a couple days before detailing and sanding.

The fox from yesterday's video is complete
A little bit of furring with my 2511p.
Wow has this little saw been a huge addition to my arsenol of tools. I will post finish pictures in the next few days of this cute little fox.
I know its just a feather but I love the movement and colors of this piece. It started out as an offcut from a larger sculpture that was destined to be fire wood but I saw something cool in the grain and knew it needed to be something more
I have been a huge supporter and fan of for many years. From using there tools as a trades person in cabinetry to now transitioning into chainsaw carving I have accumulated quite the collection. I am super excited to have the opportunity to work with this amazing company and see what the future brings. Thank you for your support. CarveWel Creations

UPDATE
Finished my newest eagle. First time carving poplar. Thanks Marina, Chainsaw Spirit for the wood. This is the piece I blocked out at her shop. I had debated painting it but I had a customer stop by and purchase it before it was complete and they chose to keep it mostly natural.
Progress on my newest eagle. The question always is should I paint it or not.
