About my carvings

The carvings you see here are not a line of products, they are examples of my work. Every item is unique. There's no such thing as a standard size or shape. I do not make copies.
I usually work in common walnut (Juglans Regia - sometimes called European walnut even though it covers a much wider region) and boxwood (Buxus Sempervirens), and now and then in rosewood and black walnut (Juglans Nigra) for less detailed and bigger carvings. I mostly use exacto knives and home made carving knives and chisels for carving miniatures, and regular carving tools for normal sized carving.
Wanna learn how to do this? Here it is:

Take a piece of steel, shove it into some sort of a handle so that you can hold it safely, sharpen it, and then use it to cut and carve a piece of wood until it starts to look like one of these you can see here, and then you stop. It's quite simple a procedure, it just takes a lot of time and work. Try not to lose any fingers while learning. If you live in some normal country you can skip the part about home made tools and just go and buy a set of carving knives. That's all there is to it. If you've got it in you it's gonna be a piece of cake, and if you don't you can always hire me :)

About me
|
| |
 |
|
I was born on 6. May 1976. (at 5.02 PM) in Langen, a small place near Offenbach (a not such a small place near Frankfurt on Main) in Hessen, Germany. When I was about three months old (not strong enough to fight back, that is), my father decided that we should move back to Yugoslavia (that's SFRY), and so I was brought to Serbia.
I never got used to it.
I grew up relatively normal, apart from apparent signs of artistic interest and its usual side effects. My parents dealt with it the best they could, but eventually gave up on trying to fix me. Thanks to their lack of persistence you're reading this right now.
