My Story

Early Wood Den

In the mid 1970's my parents had a business called THE WOOD DEN.   They make Children's toys, puzzles, and furniture.   I have memories of going to the shop in the evenings and playing with scrap wood and sawdust.  When I wanted to start my own Woodcarving business in 2002 I decided to call it THE WOOD DEN.

Early Carving

While in the Marine Corps in 1992, I began Whittling walking sticks to pass the time.  Over the next 10 years I carved many things with chisels and accumulated many tools and skills that I would need to start selling my items in stores on consignment.   In 2001 I bought my first chainsaw and made a 5 foot bear for a customer.
