Carvings with Stories: a blog about woodcarving

My name is Alistair Park and I'm a professional carver who is based in Bristol, England. I've been carving for over twenty-eight years and I also enjoy teaching my skills to people of all ages. You'll find posts here about all kinds of things to do with carving; the work that I do, the people that I meet and the things that I see which inspire me. Please feel free to comment on anything of interest, it'd be great to hear from you!

About Me

Alistair
I have been carving regularly since 1994, although I remember having a knife taken off me at school when I was about 10 years old- some places are more suited to practising whittling than others!
