This site has been designed as a way to not only display some of my work but also to introduce you to some of the amazing people I have met through various Art Shows and functions in the Featured Artist section. I started carving back in 2001 after visiting a local Wood Carving show and I decided to give it a try. After purchasing an economical set of gouges, I was off making wood chips. I started carving Christmas Ornaments to give as holiday gifts and people wanted to know where I bought them. My daughter got involved and started adding color to the ornaments turning them into a true works of Art.
A year later I again got into trouble by going to the State Fair and discovering a fantastic display of wood bowls and watching a demonstration of Wood Turning.... so I thought I would give it a try. I bought a Jet mini lathe and started to turn out tear drop Christmas Ornaments and pens. It was very addictive and again friends wanted to know where I bought the unique items. Since my house was filling up with these unique items and I had numerous suggestions from my wife as to what I could do with them, I looked for a way to sell the work. We started doing local Art and craft shows at several local Church Holiday Craft Shows. The rest has been a joy and through the help and guidance of several local turners and carvers our skills have grown. We are now showing our work at Art Shows and also have our work in a few Galleries in the south.
All of the items you see on this site are hand made by either myself, my wife or my daughter with the exception of the featured Artist section where the items are done by my friends. I do not buy items for resale as I would rather expand my knowledge and creativity to create a true work of Art that can be used and enjoyed.
If you have any questions or want any additional information please feel free to e-mail me at info@fatherdaughterww.com. All items are for sale and there is no way to show everything I have so please ask.
