Wood Carvings

With just a pocketknife, a piece of wood, and some ingenuity, Howard B. Taylor would carve an extensive collection of original, functional tools. Every tool was carved out of different types of wood found in the Northwest. In the carvings, you can see the variation in tones, grain, and texture for each different wood type.

Over 100 hand-made wood carvings are on display at the studios. From the Pacific Silver Fir to the Arroyo Willow, each carving reveals the beauty behind the bark.
