Tree Spirit
Carved out of British Columbia Cottonwood Bark
https://dwcarving.com
I first learned to carve the Tree Spirit while stationed in Germany's Black Forest region in the 80s with the Canadian Armed Forces. As I recall, there was an old clockmaker who used large Linden branches, or what we call Basswood, for his clocks. One year, he cut a large branch for a series of custom clocks. But before waxing the cut end of the tree branch stump, he decided to carve an old man's face into it. The Face looked older, with crazy, wild hair and a large, twisted, flowing beard.
After carving, he applied wax to the carving and the stump of the tree branch; doing so helped the tree recover after losing its branch. This large branch would supply enough wood for his clock studio for a couple of years, so he wouldn't need another branch for some time.

Two years later, when he returned for another large branch, he found the tree had grown around the carved face to heal itself.
Now the face seemed to look out from inside the tree, as if the spirit of the tree were gazing back at him, and the tree spirit was born. It was a true collaboration between the artist and the wild
Linden tree.

Spending time creating plans for several public art projects for 2026. Finishing off a couple of new fiction novels that we have been working on. But between the hard work, it's time to create some new contemporary art. This one is called “Necessary Madness” carved out of cherry wood, it is going to look very cool.

This is my first sculpture of 2026. The design is based on a novel idea I have been researching for about a year. It is a fantasy fiction novel about a race of beings known as the Wind Whisperers, half-human and half-insect. In this case, half the lepidopteran superfamily Papilionoidea and the human. Hand-carved out of Butternut wood and designed to last years.

Each of my carvings comes with a 50-cent coin from the Royal Canadian Mint built into the sculpture to date the artwork. Plus, a small time capsule which are hidden behind wax seals at the back of the sculpture
