Story Boards

I usually listen to classical music

as a background while carving

(I usually carve with hand-held

tools so I can hear the music). I

often develop mental images of

the musical scenes, whether it is a

symphony, opera, or ballet.

For many years, I carved

Nordic, Celtic, and a variety of

legendary and mythological figures.

But in the past few years, I have

been carving storyboards. One

consisted of 17 relief-carved scenes

from Peer Gynt

(an opera based on

a Norwegian fairy tale) embellished

with background pyrography. I’ve

nearly completed a storyboard of

14 scenes from Peter and the Wolf.

Editor’s Note: Learn more about storyboards

on page 37. They are part of carver Carlo

Olkeriil’s heritage; he was raised on the South

Pacific island of Palau, but now resides in

Astoria, Ore.

For my 40th birthday, I treated myself to a one-week class at the

Geisler-Moroder Woodcarving School in Tirol, Austria. The

school exceeded my expectations. I was surprised to learn of all

the talent in the room. Sitting near me were two other authors

published in

Woodcarving Illustrated

: Carol Kent (Twisted

Spiral Ornament, Holiday 2005, Issue 33) and Jim Farley (Build

Your Own Carving Stand, Spring 2009, Issue 46, and Building

a Tilting Carving Table, Spring 2010, Issue 50).

By the way, my

Woodcarving Illustrated

T-shirt was a big hit at the school.

whimsy ornament in an upcoming issue

Embellished Star Ornaments

I found Jody Sebring’s Moravian

star ornaments (Holiday 2012,

Issue 61) interesting and inspiring.

After carving 14, I decided to

carve a tree to match. I didn’t want

the tree to be lonely, so I carved

a little armadillo inspired by the

Oaxacan (Mexico) carvers.
