Each tree is uniquely made by its creator, therefore each cut, each piece is unique.

With the variance of grains in the wood, with the angle of the cut,

the individual carved pieces take on the unique aspects of the wood and its inherant individuality.

As the carver works to bring out the beauty of each piece,

you will find variances in shape and size of each carving.

The pieces sold on this site will be close to the photos but will vary due to the uniqueness of the natural wood.

 

Ron and Julie Tennant Owners                
 
     
Ron studies each piece of wood and works with the natural grains to bring out the 3 dimensional carving to its full potential. In his hands he can form wood from finely finished slabs or the lowly pine knot into finished works of art.
                   
From his tiny shop located in the eastern High Sierra Mountains of California, USA, Ron lives through some of the harshest winters imaginable. Temperatures fall well below 0(f) and tempers the trees that will eventually become these amazing carvings.        
       

 
 
                   
       
Ron and his wife Julie are long time residents of June Lake. They have seen the effects of the harsh enviroment on not only the trees but the land and people as well. Life is not easy in June Lake, but its isolation and beauty attract artistisans from many different disiplines
