the story. Tools – The primary tool I use is a wood lathe. The majority of my work on the lathe is done with the use of chisels and other stationary cutting tools held to the wood while the lathe rotates the wood. With respect to carving, I use both power (electric and pneumatic) tools and hand tools. I also make some of the tools that I use. I do not own a duplicator. Everything I do is by hand. For painting I use both a brush and airbrush. Motivation / inspiration - I use every opportunity to study the work and techniques of others and to incorporate other interests into my work. Using this as starting point I have tried to develop my own style.
