To me, my carving enables me to escape and travel back a hundred and fifty years ago when the great American Indian roamed the plains. I have carved using several different types of wood and found that I prefer Juniper wood above all others. Juniper is a very durable wood which grows in the high desert areas. I try to concentrate on expressing beauty, serenity and freedom.
