Woodworkers of DA

Following along my train of thought can be a bumpy ride sometimes, but I don't think this one is too much of a stretch!  Continuing along the line of natural materials, I am now showcasing some fine woodworkers that can be found on DeviantArt.  These artists have created wondrous, fun, and elegant pieces - some for show, some for function, or some of both.  Most feature carving of some sort, as I find this to be one of the most difficult wood crafts to do well.  Hope you enjoy!













Each artist shown here has several other pieces in his/her galleries.  Please follow the links above to view larger images, other views of these pieces, and of course the other works they have created!  These are just a few of the woodworkers to be found on DA, as well, so browse for some of the other talents while you are there!

Bone Carvers of DA

So while I was searching for leather workers for last week's post, I found some amazing bone/horn/antler carvers as well!  So, I thought I'd show off some of DeviantArt's fine bone carvers this week.  I haven't tried to carve anything but wood, but these artists make it look easy and elegant to shape bone into amazing and intricate designs.













Each artist showcased here has many more designs in their galleries, so follow the links above to view more great works!  Or go to DeviantArt and search for some of the other talents out there!
