I started carving wood back in 1978 just as a hobby but never had any mentors or teachers in my family other than my Norwegian Grandfather Ingvar Wick.
Ingvar was my Mom’s father and he was a fine wood craftsman and fishing boat builder. He would let us use his tools and taught me how to carve small boats and put them inside bottles.

I never really had too much of a passion for woodwork but I would never turn down a commission if I had the time or needed a new challenge.
