Markey & Son Woodcraft and Carving

Art is 10% talent and 90% inspiration. New techniques can reinforce time honored tradition. Wood art is both rustic and sophisticated.

We created art that reconnects people to their roots.

I will perform my last public CHAINSAW CARVING DEMONSTRATION for the year at the Taylorsville Apple Festival this weekend.
My focus is going to be entertaining, engaging, and even answering questions.
This is a good time to learn more about the craft and how to have custom work made.

Another bigfoot carving - painted and sealed!

10/18/2023

Been using these gouges for detailing with pretty good results
This is turning out to be my favorite bigfoot carving so far

One of my favorites so far. Momma and cub mini-bear set, carved from one piece of birch. It is HEAVILY burned to produce a carbonized shou sugi ban effect - AND finished in boiled linseed oil.

Chainsaw Carving - A little variation on the "bear-in-a-log" concept.
Heavy shou sugi ban and lightly painted, I'll probably take this little guy to Seven Sisters Gallery in Black Mountain, North Carolina
