Torbay Dreamin’

53” x 42” x 6” - Eastern White Pine

‘Torbay Bight. A rugged shoreline that was once home to a lively fishing and farming community, now a quiet rural retreat nestled up against the bustling capital city. Although the boats no longer come and go, signs of the old days still shine through. Icebergs silently float past and the whales entertain while the capelin roll.’

This was our largest ever custom commission and it’s one we are a little extra proud of as it is now mounted in a beautiful home over looking the bay in our now hometown, Torbay.

Our custom commissions are closed until the new year.
You can find out one of a kind carvings….
-in our studio/gallery in St. John’s at 172 Water Street.

Gus The Gull

9” x 5” x 4” - Cottonwood Bark

‘Gus is the mayor of the wharf. Squawking hello to all that pass by. Getting the lay of the land as it were. It’s honest work, and occasionally he gets a French fry for his time.’
