Your presence at our web site has raised our Spirits!

On this home page, we'll introduce you to our unique expressions in hand carved wood.

In ancient Europe, forests were said to be protected by the Spirits of the trees. Many of these were attributes of strong, nurturing, and prosperous species of trees that held a special power for those who possessed the knowledge of these secrets.

A special gift or protective talisman was said to promote success, sound judgment, lasting love, good health or bring the home, in which it was placed, protection from fire or other danger.

An assortment of tree species, known to Native American Indians, Druids, and European lore, is contained on this site.

The viewer may wish to consider a species that will enhance their purpose, or simply consider what is available, from the color & beauty distinctions.

Working from photos, Jim creates a likeness of the subject from poplar .

Many measurments are taken to assure accuracy.  The carving can take on a serious appearance, as with this carving, or a more stylized charecture can be designed for you.

Starting in November 2004 the Spirit Carver Studio will be open every Satuday and Sunday afternoon through out the shopping season. Come visit us in Spencer, IA. We're located at 20 fourth street S.E.
