I carve as a part-time hobby, to take my mind off the rigors of toy making. I like to carve all kinds of items, and I will do commissions. My favorite things to carve include all kinds of dolphins, porpoises and whales. I also enjoy carving fireplace mantles. I have a few pieces of Butternut (6″ X 8″ X 8 feet) that would make a beautiful mantle. For more information, please contact me.
