Tremont, Illinois

Carving what you love comes easy.

Hand carved wood ducks, fish and game birds out of basswood and black walnut.

Started carving in 7th grade. Sixty years later I'm still at it, in a shop in Tremont, with walnut off the Amish sawmills down the road.

Every piece is one of a kind. No molds, no production runs, no two ducks that look the same.
