John Sharp: Wisconsin Wood Sculptor
John carves from Black Walnut, Cherry, Butternut, White Pine, and other
woods. His sculpture technique is stylized realism, and the beautiful natural
colors of the wood are retained.
John has been working with wood his whole life. Born in 1944, he began
carving at an early age and his mastery of this medium has earned him the
respect and commendations of leading artists, art critics, and collectors.
His carvings have won numerous awards including Best of Show at the International
Woodcarvers Congress and the Canadian International Wood Carving Exhibition.
Pictures of John's sculptures have also been included in Fine Woodworking
Design Books Five and Six. John has numerous pieces in private collections.
In addition to carving John has worked professionally as a carpenter,
and has also restored several of his own buildings.
Now John is combining his skills as a wood carver and carpenter to create
beautiful architectural carvings. His interest is custom doors, mantels,
and decorative pieces.
