Hey, I’m Alec
I have been an instructor of woodcarving for 13 years, primarily focusing on carving the realistic face. I have helped thousands of students learn to carve. Some of my students are now professional carvers themselves, selling and making beautiful artwork as a part-time or full-time job. I am author of book “Carving Faces in Wood”, a contributor to Woodcarving Illustrated Magazine, and founder of Fundamentals of Woodcarving, a growing online school designed to help students achieve realistic portraits in wood.
