David is a self-taught wood carver who has been working exclusively with walking sticks and canes for over 30 years!

I first learned about David when I received my Summer 2008 (Issue 43) Wood Carving Illustrated Magazine.  They did a great How to article on his work.  I couldn't believe the amount of detail that he put into every piece.  In 2009, while attending a wood carving show in Wayne, NJ I had the opportunity to meet David and his wife and see his work up close.
