Nancy Simmons

Black Diamond, Alta.

Nancy enjoys carving wildlife in many mediums,

particularly gunstocks, antlers, goose eggs, silver, and

glass. She gets her inspiration from living in the foothills

of the Rocky Mountains. The moose and maple leaf

on the gunstock are a nod to some of Canada’s most

recognizable icons. Contact Nancy at prisim@telus.net.

Scott Hirschi

Helena, Mon.

Scott woodburned Catch and Release on maple.

He used watercolor and colored pencil to make the

piece pop. It is 16" (40.6cm) square. See more of

Scott’s work at www.finewoodburning.com.

Tony Harris

Cleveland, Tenn.

When Tony first carved this hillbilly 30 years ago

(left), it was his most prized possession. He recently

carved the pattern again to see how much his

carving skills have improved. ”To all the carvers who

are just beginning, know in time that with practice

and perseverance, we all get better,” he said. The

hillbilly pattern, 10" (25.4cm), is from Harold Enlow’s

book

Carving Figure Caricatures in the Ozark Style
