Hello and welcome to my shop!
Im Dan the Woodland Carver i started carving in the winter of 2018 and have absolutely fallen in love with this traditional Wood craft. I started carving just as something to do in the long winter evenings sat by the fire in my canal boat on the canal and have carried on ever since deepining my knowledge and skills in the wood craft.
Unlike a lot of modern day carvers all my wood carvings are done by hand using just an axe and two different knives, the wood I use is all naturally fallen, I never cut anything down to use. All my wood is foraged in local woods. I prefer to use wood that is well seasoned so i am always saving wood to use in the years to come and use only hard woods for all of my creations!
I find that nature is my main inspiration for all my work, I love being out in the woods enjoying the surroundings and the beauty of the natural world, my work is now created in my cabin home up in the hills in the north of the uk where i am building a homestead and all my sales go towards creating an off grid self suststaining, low impact life on the land where I try and live in harmony with the nature around!
I hope you enjoy my work
