Few things are emotionally warmer, or more connected to the elemental parts of our past, than the act of carving beautiful art from wood.

From exquisitely carved mantels to "hillbilly" caricatures, wood carvings seem to evoke the spirit of these hills.

The Woodcarving section of StateoftheOzarks is devoted to celebrating this spirit.
