Welcome to my web site!

I've been carving since 1982, beginning with birds based on shorebird decoys of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

While I still love shorebirds, and still enjoy carving them, I have developed a passion for fish. I concentrate primarily on native species but I've done some tropicals too. My largest piece was a 6'6" White Marlin.

I also carve fruit and vegetables, snakes and stars. I carve pieces that sit on tables, hang on the wall, float around on mobiles, and go out in the garden.

I hope you have the time to browse the photo galleries. Much of my work is here.
A good way to see it all is to visit my display at an upcoming show. These are listed on the website's Special Events Page.

In the meantime I will be delighted to answer any questions. Just email me.
