Wooden Matter Carving Company produces hand crafted wooden sculptures from chainsaws, chisels, and other tools. Each piece is unique and one-of-a-kind. We have paired skillful technique with artistic vision for over 40 years.
Capabilities
Beyond the sawdust...
We are skilled in turning stumps, logs, and boards into pieces of art that carry meaning and significance, or maybe just strike your fancy!
Commissioned Works
Made Just for You
A variety of interesting commissions have come along. Yes, I do some commissioned work. If you have something in mind, please email being sure to leave a phone number.
On-Location Carvings
custom carvings in a tree on your property
Please email or text. It is helpful go have a photo or two of the tree, perhaps with something included for size reference, like a person, a chair, or gallon jug. Please note that the carvings shown here examples of work done in the past, not a catalog you must choose from! We don’t post most stump carvings on the website- photographic challenges!
Functional Carvings
Carvings with a little more purpose
We create benches, tables, mantles, and signs, both as custom orders and as part of our inventory.
Ready-to-Go Carvings
current inventory of carvings for sale
We do not maintain a gallery or studio at present. From time to time we’ve worked with galleries, and may use a few for larger works. Most sales were at festivals and events around the Midwest, and we are looking forward to those events again, in the post-pandemic world! We have built up an inventory of carvings in the last year, so you might call and inquire.
