Occupation Wood Carving and Engraving
Location Mansfield, TX, United States
Introduction I am a life-long wood carver. As a young man, I was a carpenter and cabinet-maker. Then, I went into law enforcement for many years and retired after 30 years from the glass industry as a Technical Trainer - considered by many as an industry expert. I have been handcrafting personalized outdoor welcome signs and engraving name plaques for folks for over 50 years. Woodworking has always been my passion and the tree has always been a friend, a provider and a healer. Anna Fraser had this to say about the tree and it's a personal favorite of mine, "You are a living illustration of great wisdom. Your kind giving spirit, which provided us with food, shelter, and medicine from the wooden cradle to the wooden coffin shows me I was born into a world, which provides for all my basic needs. Many of my deepest questions are answered in endless stories, whispered and illustrated all around us. The outer world mirrors the inner world. High and low feed each other. All things create each other continuously. We are all One. All of us, faces of the Great Mystery. All of us connected. One living warm golden heart.
