This piece is carved in to a rotting black walnut tree. It was done at a very good friends property as a practice chainsaw carving session…..actually the first chainsaw carving Joe ever did…

This is the other side of the same walnut tree

This piece was done for Penguin Ice Cream in Copley Ohio. His name is Ritzi because I asked my 2.5 year old nephew what we should name him and he said “Ritzi”

I did this piece in hopes that it would scare other birds away from my vegetable garden……it didn’t…..but it looks nice overlooking the garden….

This is the 2nd wood sculpture I have ever done and is currently for sale

This piece was done as a gift for my girlfriend and manager Julie. We started dating in October of 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, which turns out for us, was a perfect time to start our relationship. That Christmas we cut down a Christmas tree for my house…..a giant Christmas tree….

This was the first time she had ever cut down a tree for Christmas. Since everyone was working from home and on zoom calls all the time she wanted something to go behind her in her office for zoom calls. Little did she know, I kept the trunk of the Christmas tree we cut down together and made this piece for her out of the trunk of that tree so she has a piece of our first Christmas together forever.
