Hi, I'm Shlomit and I'm a professional wood carver and chainsaw carver from the Yarra Valley and being doing it since 2015. I usually work on large projects for schools and councils using chainsaws and power tools, but I LOVE the peace of mind that whittling gives me, the quiet, dustless joy of seeing a piece of timber turns into an animal or a character in my hands and I love to share my knowledge and see the satisfied smiles of people who just created their own carving. I see whittling as the gateway of wood carving combined with being present in an active meditation.
