Welcome Simon Archer!

Hey Everyone,
 We just added four new carvers to the our gallery.

Simon Archer, a graduate of fine arts, hails from Liverpool, England. Simon took up carving about 16 years ago, but did not start using a carving bar until about 2 years ago. Inspired by nature, Simon is a freelance artist and creates sculptures, benches, chairs, and jewelry. Simon actively participates in community projects. His artwork can be found in several locations on the web. Simon's variety of artwork has the ability to catch admirers from across the spectrum. He also has a video on youtube showing a chainsaw milling of an oak. Simon uses a Stihl 066 for blocking out big carvings and milling 3 foot wide logs. Stihl 026 for blocking and shaping, and a Stihl MS200 with a 12" dime tip for detail work. His advice is to keep experimenting as some of his favorite pieces evolved from "Happy Accidents". We find him witty and quite pleasant to converse with. His website is definitely worth a stop to for those wishing to gain inspiration and treasure hunting.
