Wildfowl & Songbird Art by Paul R. Adkins
Welcome to my Wildfowl & Songbird carving site. I began carving birds about thirty years ago. I am self taught, learning with each and every carving I do trying to be accurate in size and color of each species that I carve. I feel that GOD has blessed me and is guiding my hands and eyes in each carving that I do. Each carving is one of a kind, carved from Tupelo or Basswood both hardwoods that hold detail well. Carvings are painted with acrylic paints added layer by layer in very thin washes. I was born and raised in the small town of Nitro, W.Va. After high school I went to work in the local chemical plants. After forty two years I retired in 2005 and now spend most of my time carving or playing Bluegrass music. I sell my carvings thru the internet and at Tamarack , located in Beckly W. Va. ( Tamarack, The Best of West Virginia is the nation’s first showcase of handcrafts, fine art and regional cuisine. ) I hope you enjoy viewing these carvings as much as I enjoy carving them. Here is a short video and article on WCHS TV - Traveling West Virginia.
