“THE STORYTELLER”
Try and imagine a ceremony where the tribal chief or shaman begins to tell the stories that their tribe built their beliefs. To capture the audiences attention and keep their undivided attention a mask is worn. Imagine this is the “Storyteller”s mask.

It’s fantastic looking
this gorgeous :O
BTW do you sell your work online? From FB I see you do exhibitions.
I don’t have a website or a “store” online that I sell my work out of but I have pricetags on almost everything I carve. No one ever seems to express an interest of buying something.
The exhibits I do are juried exhibits around the lower mainland of BC and they can be purchased there. The shows I’m in are usually only 1 to 2 months long then they come home with me.
This is pretty amazing! I love how you take us from the block of wood to the final sculpture! Truly amazing.
Thanks SimeyC! Glad you like it!
That’s gorgeous!! You are really talented. I wonder how the hair is being made. That’s beautiful!
The hair is made from the inner bark from a cedar tree. It strips of the outer bark in long strands.
I love it, amazing how it is made.
Thanks Lady! This carving was kind of an experiment. I wanted to see how it would turn out if I carved something out of the end grain of the wood as opposed to along the grain. It gave me a lot of problems cracking, which I thought it might, so I was very glad to finish it.
Even though the end result turned out ok I will never do that again!
Thanks for looking!
Wow nice woodcarved art.
Thank you very much!
