The time has come for me to make the trip to Ontario. I'm loaded and ready to make the trek 4,000 km to the Canadian Chainsaw Competition in Orillia. This will be the furthest east I have ever been in Canada. Here are a few pics of carvings that will be available. Wish me luck.

This puppy is done. The customers are extremely happy and so am I. Despite some issues with rot in the stump (I was able to cut out and replace) this fine dog will sit at the ready for many years to come.

13/09/2022

Progress on the pup. Now to leave it for a couple days to dry out before detailing

12/09/2022

Started an onsite this morning and everything was going great until a large rot pocket was found. So had to cut it out and add a large piece of solid wood that came from the top of the stump. Let the glue set and get back to it tomorrow

My wife and I did these mosaic tile pieces 4 years ago as part of a community art project for downtown vernon with Gabriel Strong we had a blast doing them and they are still there.

08/09/2022

I had the opportunity to work with an incredible metal artist, Peter Bittroff. And create a base for his amazing hawk made of recycled metal. I love how the two mediums came together to create a stunning sculpture that will unveiled to the public at the artwalk in lake country this weekend

06/09/2022

The sea turtle made the trek to the Vernon Community Arts Centre and is on display/sale. This is truly a one of a kind piece made of western red cedar and driftwood from the west coast. Drop in to the art center and see all they have to offer.

I had the opportunity to present 2 of my carvings to the ubc thunderbirds and the calgary dinos after the kalamalka bowl football game. It was an opportunity to give back to football in a small way. I played 4 years of high-school ball for the vss panthers who put together this incredible event

24/08/2022

I'm really trying to step my game up and push myself to carve better. I'm working on the feather patterns and head structure. I focus less on how much time something takes, and more on is it something I can be proud of.

23/08/2022

Created a base extension for the wings up eagle that is to be shipped tomorrow!!

19/08/2022

Breaching humpback whale. I love carving animals that have fluid lines and natural movement like marine life and birds. Its something about the ability to seem weightless and have gracefully smooth movement that draws me to them. Thank you all for being on this journey with me.

Im very excited to post this piece. I am constantly trying to grow and push myself to create art that speaks to people. This sculpture was designed to have as much motion and negative space as possible. I could not be happier with the finished product

Go sit on the bench. Post a photo tagging CarveWel Creations to be entered to win this cute little bear. Located at cools pond on Rimer rd in vernon

09/06/2022

The bench at cools pond is installed and available for public use. It is the first ever art project to be on public display in an rdno park. Cools pond is a beautiful location which is home to blue herrons, many types of water fowl and turtles. When creating this piece I took all that into consideration. The left side sculpture is a pair of turtles hanging out in the sun. The left bench back is of rattlesnake point on kal lake. The center piece is a male herron standing guard with a female nesting. The right side bench back is the view of okanagan lake as if you were standing on kin beach. The right side sculpture is a duck taking it easy enjoying the view. All the pieces tie into there surrounding area with a wetlands theme with cattails and reads. It was an honour to be selected for such a "cool" project. Thank you to ACNO & RDNO and everyone on the selection jury. A big thank you to everyone who has supported me on this project and this journey of being a chainsaw carver.

I believe eyes can make or break a carving. I have been working alot lately on making them more realistic and giving them more depth. Thanks for being on this journey with me.

01/06/2022

Art is supposed to create emotion. And well this one makes me smile. It and many others will be available at Lumby Days june 10/11 where I will be carving live and setting up a booth. Come down and say hi!!

29/05/2022

Big ol bear bust finished up today. Playing with design, movement and texture. Pushing myself to grow with every carve.

28/05/2022

UPDATE. I did a little bit of airbrush work and another coat of clear today. This piece is now ready. Building stock for upcoming shows.

28/05/2022

What an honour to do this piece. Its not just art. This is a memorial for a grandson taken to soon by cancer. To be a part of something that has so much meaning is truly a gift. Thank you for entrusting me with this piece of wood and the task of creating something more than just a sculpture.

28/05/2022

Todays project was a fun piece. Still have to airbrush some highlights in tomorrow
