Welcome to Carvings & Turnings by Charlie
I specialize in handcrafted carvings and turnings. The majority of my sales are from inventory although I also do work on commission. Please preview my gallery of products for ideas and inspirations.

I
participated in the Springfield, IL and Danville, IL shows.
If you missed me at the shows this year, be sure to attend
next year.
I attended the Artistry in Wood show in Dayton, Ohio.
Once again, it was a great show with fantastic exhibits and
several commercial vendors providing carving and turning
supplies. Demonstrations and the "Spit and Whittle" booth
sponsored by Woodcarving Illustrated provided opportunities
to sit down and talk with some of the best woodcarvers in
the country.
Several local carvers were exhibitors. Bob Biermann
won several ribbons and Larry Baldridge was recognized by
the CCA for his contributions to the organization.
To place
an order for a unique item, email me a description and I’ll
do my best to create your vision. We currently have 4 custom
items in process, so delivery will take up to 3 months after
orders are placed.
While
I consider my carvings and turnings to be priceless, I have
kept them affordable for any budget. Carvings are both from
rough outs and original designs. However, the human element
provides a unique item that can never be duplicated. So each
item will be literally one of a kind.
