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!

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.
