David joined SCVC in 2002 and has been carving with us every week. We are glad to share his diverse woodcarving gallery.

Fisherman carved from basswood. The photo is featured in David Osterlund's Woodcarving Gallery.

David carved a 9″ (23 cm) tall fisherman from basswood. The fish was carved separately and glued to the body. This project shows David’s attention to detail and skill with the medium.

David’s whittling projects always draw a crowd at our public events; kids and adults alike marvel at the intricate chains he carved from a single block of wood.

Classic whittling projects: wooden chains, ball-in-cage projects, and a working folding pocket knife. They are carved from basswood and pine. Shared in David's woodcarving gallery.
