Wood Carvings & Clay
from the Hand, Not a Machine
Words are not my only medium. I love carving wood and working with clay. All my carvings are handmade with some combination of chisels, a Dremel, a hand-held router, and an angle grinder. My clay projects are hand-built, no molds. Sometimes I use a wheel, but really I shouldn't. I still suck at that.

 Cat Tree 1I made this from sycamore branches, ash wood (steps), and the cubby and platform are 3/4" plywood. I covered the cubby and platform in waterproof canvas and finished off the look with some rope and sisal. |  Cat Tree 1This is the bottom section with cubby of cat tree 1. |  Cat Tree 1 Back SideCat Tree 1 backside view. |

 Cat Tree 3This I did not build from scratch but recovered the ugly beige carpet, reapplied rope, and reinforced the posts. |  Cat Tree 3 Side ViewThis I did not build from scratch but recovered the ugly beige carpet, reapplied rope, and reinforced the posts. |  Cat Tree 4 w/Dog HouseI made this stand/platform for inside a catio. I secured a dog house on the top, added a plastic flap on the door and insulated the inside. I also added a little covered cubby I made for food and water. |
