Wood Carving
Every week Dave used to make a trip to Apple Country Wood Carvers, Hendersonville, NC. from Asheville, where he carved wood with other club members. Many of the club's carvers used their craft to make wooden toys for non-profit organizations, that serve children in that area. This past two years he carved once a week, for three weeks a month, at the Parks and Recreation facility on Middlebury Rd. in Kent, OH, with the Tree City Wood Carvers club. Now he will resume carving by joining a local wood carving club in Winston-Salem .
Some examples of Dave's wood carving include whimsical houses and steps, carved from cottonwood bark, as well as a chip carved shelf and a wood burned relief carving. Sometimes the houses have windows, which reflect light by means of stained glass pieces affixed to their back. A wooden staff with animals on it reminds the viewer of the Noah's Ark story. The chip-carved shelf incorporates copper for strength and decoration. It is easy to see that wood combines well with metal and glass to make attractive mixed media art.
