My Studio: Where Art Works and Plays

This is my playroom when I’m not working outdoors or doing “clean work” upstairs. I use a motley assortment of traditional carving gouges, chisels, rasps and mallets along with several chainsaws and an assortment of power tools for helping with the long sanding process. The wood stored here is ripe enough to work; most has followed a years-long drying path. (Wood dries at a rate of about an inch per year measured from the center of the tree/branch.)
