Trees have been around since the dawn of time. Our ancestors evolved from the ancient forests that protected them until the time came to utilize the trees to make life more comfortable. This was a double edged sword. In a time when mankind was more in tune with his surroundings he considered trees sacred. Not only did they afford materials for buildings to procted them but also fuel to keep them warm.
The oldest known lucky charms were made from wood. Trees could aid a person both medicianally and physically. A bow made from Yew or Ash could provide much needed food. The trunks of trees were used to support immense structures that are now made from stone.
What you are about to see are the Spirits of those Trees, the same trees our ancestors once worshipped.
"Due to the amount of carving I have been doing over the last three years I have a developed a serious problem with my left elbow. The upshot being that until I've seen a specialist and found out what exactly is wrong, I'm unable to carry on carving. As this is something I have no control over I'm afraid that all items on the website; with the exception of the PDF document (the book) are unavailable until further notice.
I do apologise to anyone that wants to buy my carvings, with a large amount of luck I should hopefully be back carving later on in the year.

This book was born out of the necessity to get everyone whoever thought about wood carving actually carving.
I have many woodcarving books at home which all look the business BUT fail miserably to deliver what it says on the front cover.
My book ‘How to carve Tree Spirits’ is designed to aid those without a workbench or much space.
You will also get to see close-ups in full colour as the Tree Spirit takes shape. |
The beauty also being that each cut tells you what sort of tool to use and how to use it. At the back of the book is a list of tools along with the cost of each one and where to purchase them.
All in all this is a working book which I’d rather didn’t sit on a bookshelf unloved and unused. Instead buy it, use it, love it.
The book is available to donwload now as a PDF at a cost of £6.00
