Chosen as one of America's Top 200 Craftsmen



Homer previously carved wood in
Old Bedford Village, PA



Hardwood Treenware
Bowls
One-of-a-kind
Handcarved with Adzes and Crooked Knives


Of the traditional pieces I have examined, the majority seem to be carved heart down while using the natural contour of the log. The pieces were initially carved green and in the drying process this design lent itself to greater survivability than carving heart up. By carving heart down and using the natural contour , while drying, the bowl "cupped," thereby using the radial shrinkage of the wood to produce more of a bowl-like shape.
