Dennis and the Art of Carving

Dennis saw an African primitive style statuette in our St Peter & St James charity shop and thought: ‘Now there’s a carving challenge!’

From a suitably sized Ash log, Dennis turned, drilled and chiselled the wood to create this intertwined figurine.  He then sanded and stained it to give a rustic effect to complete this intriguing three-month project.

What made it particularly challenging is that it is carved from a single piece of wood, the figures are completely separate and whilst totally interlocked can be opened to provide a handy stand. It’s simply amazing Dennis!
