Carving & Turnings by Charlie

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.


Latest News

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.  

Ordering and Contact

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.

Always Unique

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.
