Your finished product almost has a metal/bronze look to it. I had to do a double take. Great work! You don't see many wood carvers around much anymore. Like glass blowers, its a dying art .. Obviously you are not letting that happen. Just curious..(non of by business really, so don't answer if you don't want to), Did you learn this from someone close to you? Do you have any children that want to learn this talent? I am always curious if this passion can be taught and passed down through the generations. I pass this place all the time for work, https://www.facebook.com/Ackmonsters/, very talented as well, but your skill seams more refined.
Either way.. Beautiful work! See you around Steemit!
p.s. Hello from New Jersey!!
@bdmillergallery thank you, yes I know the Ackmonster haha big bearded Brian Ackley. A talented and awesome person that guy. My daughter(14) has carved a few pieces and my 2 year old son nothing yet but give it time lol. They both love it...I am self taught with a little help from YouTube and some books.
Our industry though is just getting started and making its way into the fine art category all over. Competitions are now worldwide and growing by the day, we are all working together to evolve the artform. It is truly spectacular, thanks again.
Man, I apologize. I didn’t realize there was such a movement happening. Thanks for filling me in. Small world we live in sometimes. Self taught? Wow. All that more impressive.
No need for apologies, but thank you. Trying to spread awareness of this platform to my community. Bring the movement to Steemit haha. Baby steps...so far so good
For Sure. Best wishes to you and in your efforts.
