Tom Crowl: Hand Carved Folk Art

As a performance artist, Tom enjoys entertaining audiences - but he always felt the need to express his creativity in other mediums. It wasn't until he decided to carve a wooden Santa for Dierdre, that he figured out exactly what that form of expression would be. His first hand carved primitive Santa ignited Tom's passion for the art of wood carving.

Tom feels his love of wood originated from his grandfather, who was a carpenter. When he began to carve wine barrel heads, Tom learned many of the original carvers were also graphic artists and sign painters. About the same time, his mother showed him a portfolio of his great grandfather's work. His great grandfather, a German immigrant, was a highly talented graphic artist and sign painter. Tom believes that his ancestry is, in a sense, speaking through him as he creates his works.

From hand carved signs, to exclusive carved wine art, Tom enjoys freeing an image from wood. In addition to his own creations, Tom also accepts custom wood carving commissions.

Joe Kovacs: Handcrafted Furnishings

Branching Out Artistree creates unique handcrafted furnishings which are inspired by nature. The natural form of branches and the beauty of wood slabs combine to make functional art. As founder of Branching Out Artistree, I have been working with wood for 19 odd years & until recently I was making traditional square furnishings. I love the outdoors, and on my many walks I was inspired to find a way to recycle the many fallen branches that littered the ground.

The surfaces of my furnishings are hardwood slabs up to 2 inches thick consisting of oak, beech, walnut, cherry, ash and other local hardwoods that are slowly dried to prevent cracking. They are finely sanded to reveal the natural grains and colors of each piece. Sealer is then applied before the final finishes which are shellac or oil.

I reassemble the tree creating functional art in the form of tables, shelves, modular entertainment units, cd towers, and games tables. Each piece made is unique and may be designed to suit a variety of settings from contemporary to comfortable cottage decor.
