Wood carved sculptures. Made in Ireland. Unique pieces for all.

My journey with woodcarving began over ten years ago (2014), born from a deep appreciation for nature and a fascination with the quiet stories hidden in wood. When I first discovered bog oak and bog yew — trees that have been preserved for thousands of years in the earth — I was captivated.
