Jack, author of Carving Compact Characters and 50 Character Patterns for Woodcarvers, is a retired Texas public school administrator living in Cleburne, Texas. He began carving in 1975 and has specialized in compact figures since 1978. Jack definitely doesn’t believe that “bigger is better,” as most of his carvings are only 2-3 inches in height. As he travels to display his carving talents, Jack is more than willing to share his carving knowledge with others.

Jack is a founding member of CCA. He also belongs to several woodcarving groups and is past-president of the Texas Woodcarvers Guild.

Jack is available to teach woodcarving seminars. He does not judge exhibits or shows. His carvings are available for sale.
