Welcome to Michael Keller Woodcarving Blog. I am currently undergoing a name change from White Eagle Studios. All links to White Eagle Studios’ web site will take you to the new Michael Keller Woodcarving site automatically. Over time, this WordPress site will be making changes as well. Thank you so much for joining me.

Guest Contributor Don Mertz
You don’t want to miss the deeply meaningful discussion of ‘Journey of Woodcarving‘ presented by Donald K. Mertz . I think you will agree that this is written from the heart and powerfully expresses the woodcarving experience as you have never heard it before. Obviously Don is a gifted carver and in September of 2009, he was elected to the membership of the Caricature Carvers of America. I don’t know about you, but I like being friends with someone so talented.

Important Disclosure: Wood carving and whittling may be habit forming and could prevent you from engaging in household chores and other unpleasant tasks. Carving is enjoyable and you may be prone to sharing it with others; thus, causing them to experience the same distractions from less pleasant tasks as you may experience yourself.

Serious Disclosure:
Woodcarving is inherently dangerous. When using woodcarving tools be sure to read and follow all manufacturers instructions. Utilize safety equipment such as carver’s gloves, a leather apron, chainsaw chaps, eye and ear protection, appropriate foot wear and other items as appropriate to your woodcarving activity. Always be “carveful.”
