Carving Cory

From an old photo of a person with some great hair. Had to turn them into my own funky style.

Hand carved and stained.

A funky piece based on an old picture of my Nana. She arrived in the US in 1914 from Italy. She was a best friend to me.

This pup was a commission piece. Someone wanted their best friend to sit on their desk :)

Why I whittled Maynard Dixon.

I grew up on Weird Al. I smiled the entire time I made this.

Just an abstract wooden carving of a cowgirl.

Something different. This abstract piece is part of a new style I’m exploring.

AbstractCarving

This character was originally dreamed up by a brother, and his sister reached out to have him carved in wood as a surprise gift. The bandage, the stance, the expression… it’s all there. Honored to bring someone else’s imagination to life in a whole new medium.

Working on a series based on texasisms. This one is, “All Hat No Cattle”.

This hand-carved falcon will sit proudly on top of a staff. A custom commission for a shop in Arizona. Looking forward to seeing how it looks when they add it to the staff.

Medieval hand-carved wooden mice, inspired by the iconic Lewis Chessmen! A blend of history, craftsmanship, and a touch of storytelling. It’s not every day you get to imagine mice as noble knights and rulers!
