Wood Ridge Carvings

This right here is why I keep carving. ❤️

The Eagle and Horse made it safely to their new home in Tennessee, and seeing these reviews really made my day.

Every carving represents hours with a chainsaw, painting, and probably a little too much overthinking. 😆 Knowing they're appreciated in their new homes makes all that effort worth it.

I'm back at it again today, putting the finishing touches on the Eagle with more motivation thanks to these reviews. 💪

Thank you all for supporting my small business it truly means a lot!

I’m putting everything I have into the finishing touches of this 36" eagle today. 🦅🇺🇸

This isn't just another carving—it’s a 250th US Anniversary Edition, and it feels extra special in my shop right now. As a father with a daughter proudly serving in the Navy ⚓, I’m working hard to make sure every feather and every detail honors the spirit she’s out there protecting.

It’s a lot of hours with the saw and the brush, but when I think about the sacrifice our service members make, it pushes me to be even more of a perfectionist. I want this piece to be a true one-of-a-kind tribute for whoever brings it into their home.

He’ll be ready for personal delivery during my Ohio trip July 3rd–6th, or I can have him shipped safely anywhere in the US! 🚚📦

Thank you for following our family’s journey. ❤️

He’s officially out of the log—meet Henry! 🐮✨

I just finished the sealer on this new Highland Cow. Standing 16" tall and 11" wide, he’s the perfect size for a mantel or entryway. I added a little more character by carving a ring in his nose—it’s those small details that make each piece unique.

Henry is looking for a home and is ready to jump in the truck for personal delivery during my Ohio trip July 3rd–6th or shipping if needed. 🚚💨

Message me if you want to claim him or start a custom order! 🔨🇺🇸

🚚🪵 OHIO FRIENDS — I'M COMING YOUR WAY! 🪵🚚
I'll be in Ohio July 3rd–6th and can personally deliver any of these available carvings along the way, saving you the hassle and cost of shipping! ‼️Check the comments for all available carvings. ‼️
From bears and owls to cardinals, raccoon, raven, trout, and more, every piece is one of a kind. If you've been following my work and have had your eye on something, now is a great opportunity to bring it home.
I'm also currently working on a new Highland Cow carving and will be sharing progress photos soon. 🐮🪵 I'm excited about how this one is coming together!
📲 Message me for dimensions, pricing, or to reserve a piece before it's gone. Feel free to share if you know someone who may be interested.

I honestly can't believe these cardinals are still looking for a home. ❤️
Every time I walk past them, those bright red colors catch my eye and make me smile. I've been seeing a lot of cardinals lately and it never gets old.

They're about 16" tall, sealed for indoor or outdoor display, and ready to bring a little color and warmth to someone's home.

Packed with care and ready to ship anywhere in the U.S.

If you think they belong with you, send me a message.

UPS is going to have their hands full today! 🚚💨

I’m a perfectionist with my carvings, but I’m even worse with my packing. Between the horse and eagle heading to TN and the owl shipping to Ohio, my shop is currently a mountain of boxes and tape. 📦💪

I just finished sealing this raccoon, and while the others are spoken for, he’s still looking for a place to stay! If your carving arrives and looks like a mummified log, just know it’s because I wanted to make sure it survived the trip back to my old stomping grounds in Ohio and beyond! 🌲✨

Message me if you want this cute raccoon or a custom piece! We ship nationwide (and we pack for the apocalypse). 🔨🇺🇸

Look at this face! 🦝🪵 😍
After carving my first raccoon as a custom order, I couldn't resist making another one. More photos coming after I apply the sealer.
He still needs a name. We're leaning toward Rusty but want to see what you guys think?

The man behind the saw....🪵

From building my own toys as a kid in the Philippines 🇵🇭 to operating heavy equipment in Ohio 🚜, I've always enjoyed working with my hands and creating things.

I'm Romel, the chainsaw carver behind Wood Ridge Carvings. About a year ago, I moved to South Carolina and took a leap of faith to turn my passion for carving into a full-time career. One thing I quickly fell in love with here was the abundance of carving logs and the warmer weather, which lets me spend more time outside doing what I enjoy most. 🌲☀️

I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and every piece I create is made with the goal of being one of a kind. I don't just carve logs—I try to bring out something special that can't be found anywhere else. 🪵🪚

Wood Ridge Carvings is truly a family effort. My wife, Stacie, is a full-time nurse, but somehow still manages to keep everything running behind the scenes—from messages and orders to packing and shipping. We have three amazing kids. Our oldest daughter is proudly serving in the Navy ⚓, and our two younger ones are often recruited as assistant painters, helpers, and occasional models for new carvings (usually with a little encouragement... and maybe a bit of bribery 😆).

I'm grateful to spend my days doing something I love, and even more grateful for everyone who follows along, supports our small business, and brings these carvings into their homes.

Thank you for being part of the journey. ❤️
