I'm Everett Ellenwood, an award winning carver who specializes in carving realistic human faces. A number of my carvings have won "Best of Show" awards and many have been published in "Chip Chats" carving magazine. I've been a woodcarver for over 30 years and for the past 20 plus years I've taught all levels of carving from beginners to advanced in Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Arizona, Florida, Missouri and Arkansas.

For a number of years I also did commission carving and restoration carving. I have items throughout the United States and some foreign countries.

For 17 years I was an independent distributor of carving supplies and "pre-sharpened" carving tools.

Over my many years of carving, teaching and selling pre-sharpened carving tools, I perfected a unique, easy to learn, sharpening technique which I've taught to hundreds of carvers with excellent response. My sharpening technique was so well received that my students kept telling me to make a video on sharpening.

The video is called "Sharpening Simplified", and with it you can be my next student.

By popular demand, I now have a new DVD entitled "Beginning Woodcarving."
