 A Note from Steve: As a Dad, Papa, and Game Warden I have encountered many situations involving children. Many of those situations are downright funny, others very serious and yes even a few a little sad. Whatever the case maybe I hope you enjoy this collection of poems…I hope they bring a smile to your face…or even a joyful tear to your eye... Since these poems came to me in the middle of the night and the 1st I titled “God’s Gift”, I guess that explains how I feel about this collection. |
I have been carving for the last 10 years. I started carving ½ size ducks and a master carver told me to remember that “those birds are carved 1 feather at a time.” So, I decided to try to carve one feather. I began by carving turkey feathers. Old oak barn board seemed like a natural fit to display them. Then I added oak and maple leaves, mushrooms, arrowheads and shotgun shells. Mother Nature is full of feathers so I started doing speculum feathers from the puddle ducks and different game birds soon followed. Now I carve the feathers of all the game birds, ducks all the species of turkeys, song birds, hawks, owls, and my favorite the immature Golden Eagle. Since many of these feathers are illegal to possess a wood carving is a great way to enjoy their beauty. I also began carving elk and whitetail deer antlers to use as gun racks.

My love of nature started as a young hunter in Iowa. My family used
to chase pheasants, rabbits and fox squirrels at every opportunity.
My love for the outdoors has grown over the last 25 years as a Game
Warden and chasing English Setter bird dogs. 
I do custom pieces carved from basswood containing all the above.
My goal is to re-kindle the memory of a past hunt or to touch a spark
for the anticipation of a future hunt. I find folks who just love
nature like my work as well. Every pattern I use comes from an original
that I found in the wild outdoors. (except for the raptors and song
birds and I rely on drawings or museum specimens) I carve them to
represent something you would see in the forest or marsh and lean
over and pick-up. That is why they have undulations, splits, and
the shot shells are a little wobbly because someone walking by may
have stepped on it. I began to carve feather pins, earrings and pendants
so that everyone could afford to have one of my carvings. These items
are all carved from tupelo. 
All of the pieces I carve whether a large custom piece or a feather
pin are one of a kind originals. I hand paint them with acrylic paint.
My guarantee is simple if you do not like it you do not take it. 
Since
I work full time as a Missouri Conservation Agent (game warden) I
am not the fastest carver in the world. Please call to arrange your
custom pieces. Feather pins, earrings and pendants are delivered much
more quickly depending on what I have in stock. You may also find
my carvings at the Valley Road Woodcarving shop in world famous Silver
Dollar City, Peter Engler Woodcarving in Branson Mo.or at The wooden Feather Wildlife Gallery in the Outer
Banks in Duck North Carolina.
