Sculpting Instruction

Although Jack teaches many forms of art, his preferred medium for self-expression is large-scale hand-chiseled local hardwoods, predominantly cherry, oak, maple and beech. His sculptures range from 2′ to 6′ in height and are meant to be viewed in the round.

Jack feels it is important to honor the original life-form of the tree from which each sculpture originates. In sculpting, he is attempting to bring out the wood’s natural beauty and design inherent in the wood.
