Dr. Jack Clark also a skilled wood carver

Dr. Jack Clark, Syracuse, has developed into a well skilled wood carver after two years. Clark started his hobby after he received a wood carving kit for Christmas in 1977. Since that time he has carved past the beginning stage into three dimensional carving. He started carving by doing a simple plaque mostly of leaves and has gone to three dimensionals such as a statue of a little boy and some abstract carving. This hobby he has is for his grandchildren, according to Clark Most of his carving is done in the dining room on the dining room table. He said his wife is real understanding and cleans up the areas he misses. When he carves he starts with a carbon copy design on a piece of wood. From there he cuts away afthe wood until it looks the way he feels it should. When he does three dimensional pieces the design is put on the front and side. He has always worked with pictures or a model, never with just a piece of wood. The hardest for him to do after carving is the wood finishing. He stated he would rather work with woods that would not have to be stained such as white and black walnut, which are his favorite woods to work with. Most of his wood is obtained through hobby shops in the surrounding towns, from his brother-in-lw who owns a saw mill and through a magazine published by the National Wood Carving association, which he is a member. After the carving is completed most of his work is painted. Besides his plaques of leaves. Clark has made pins, hunting decoy, a hobby horse and various other carvings all for his family, although some of his work can be seen at his office in Syracuse. Clark stated that wood carving is “a nice outlet that lets you be creative. It’s fun to give away to people something they appreciate."
