I am a South Carolina wood carver focusing on distinctive hand carved custom clocks, and a variety of other wood carvings.

My latest piece is ready to go! After a long month of hard work! Featuring a large blue crab and “Hilton Head 1663”. Completely carved by hand in solid poplar. Measures 26 by 28 inches. The new owners are out of town, so I get to enjoy it in my home for a while!

I’m just about finished carving my latest consignment! It’s big! 26 x 28 inches. That's about twice the square inches as usual! It's been a handful - it doesn't fit on my work bench. Next up is the painting. Then I need to build a frame.

I felt like carving something fun and colorful! Had no plan for the paint - just winged it! Hand carved in poplar - 7 x 12 inches. #woodcarving #Flowers

Just wrapped up carving this little rocking horse! It’s similar, but smaller, to one I carved earlier this year. Not sure if I’ll get it painted before vacation.

My “Five Colorful Buoys” carving is all painted up! Hand carved in pine - 11 x 13 inches. I normally don’t enjoy painting, and this one was extra fiddly, but I actually had fun painting it!
