Intricate Works

Vasyl Bevz of Kiev, Ukraine, is a

member of the National Union of Folk Art Masters

of Ukraine. Vasyl enjoys carving projects with

religious, Renaissance, and Asian themes. While he

spends most of his time completing custom work

for clients, he hopes to create some projects with

American themes in his spare time. Vasyl’s work

is featured in a number of churches as well as in

private collections around the world. See more of

Vasyl’s work at vbevz.com.

Life-Size Cowboy

Clayton Urbshott of Owen

Sound, Ont., Canada, has been a meat cutter for

40 years and has been carving for the last 10.

Preferring to carve life-size figures, Clayton said,

“My goal for each carving is to make it more

detailed and accurate than the last. I’m not artistic,

so I use reference photos and measurements.”

Snake Stick

Don Conner of Portland, Ore., is a

retired law enforcement officer. He carved this

walking stick from southern hardwood. He coated

the stick with three coats of Minwax and topped

the cane with a deer antler, covered the joining

with an elk antler ferrule, and added deer antler

tips on a leather thong along with a medallion.
