John Nelson. Carving is a full-time occupation and passion, and has been since about 1980. Made his home on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula, a beautiful and rugged land. Each carvings is a one-of-a-kind, hand carved and individually painted work of love. All creations are carved of native Alaska Spruce, cut here on the Kenai Peninsula by small, privately owned sawmills. Each finished work is signed and dated, and carries the "Made In Alaska" logo of authenticity. No two pieces are alike, each an individual creation reflecting the spirit and wonder of the North Land. Unlike mass-produced carvings currently being marketed, his shop houses no duplicating machines, no airbrushes, no imported wood. All work is done by hand, one-at-a-time.
