Dave King
This talented and versatile sculptor and woodcarver uses fine woods (especially walnut, yew and tulip) that revealing their beautiful hidden grains when carved. Using a wide range of tools and finishes Dave ‘Captain Chainsaw’ can bring forth artistic shape and form from almost any part of the tree from roots making freeform bowls and table tops to trunks for large sculptures and seats with mystical toadstools and mushrooms from branches or provocative silhouettes from bark.
Dave had the honour of carving a ‘corgi’ from walnut for Queen Elizabeth II during her Jubilee visit to Dolau in 2002 which was present by the Children of Powys.
Commissions are always welcome. All pieces are suitable for indoor or outdoor display. Contact: (01597) 824782.

You must make sure you visit the fabulous new addition to the Lake Park carved by Dave, the Landoddie’ which sprang to life from the trunk of an oak – what a terrific re-use for a diseased tree that had to be felled!
