The last 2 weeks have been spent carving “show” pieces for my first big exhibition at the Hartford Convention Center this coming weekend. Stihl is sponsoring the New England Fishing and Hunting show this year and one of their reps asked me if I’d be interested in carving at this show a few months back and now it’s here!
We started setting up the carving area today and will finish up Friday morning. The show starts at noon Friday and continues through Sat. and Sunday. My apprentice, Ben, will be carving with me. We set it up so that half of the area is carving space inside netting and the other half is made up of various carvings, hand crafts from the kids and limited edition lithographs related to hunting imagery.
I’ll post some pics after the show is over….
Stay tuned!

Mike, I got to carve catalpa logs for this show,for the first time and I am loving that wood!!! It has become my new favorite. It doesn’t grow as big as pine, but it is so fun to carve.
Your work is amazing…I was wondering if you know of any other shows coming up for wood sculpting?….I live in Kingston NY and don’t mind traveling…if you could help me out it would be highly appreciated…thanks William
William, I think all this week is the Ridgeway Rendezvous in Ridgeway PA. This is the best event to go to. Click here http://www.chainsawrendezvous.org/
