Welcome to Whimsicalwood.

This site features the wood-art and graphic work of David Stanley, plus instructional materials on the tools, techniques and processes I have used.

The various types of art work featured are loosly categorised under the headings of wood-art and graphics. Though the kinds of work are very different, there is considerable overlap in the materials used, their form and the techniques employed.

Wood-art includes:

Welsh lovespoon carving, other wood carving, boxes, clocks, automata, toys and hand-crafted jigsaw puzzles.

Grahics includes:

Drawing and painting, watercolour and acrylic, graphite, coloured pencil, pen and ink work, photo illustration and digital work. Graphics also includes; rock painting, hand lettering, calligraphy and pyrography on wood.

The work shown on this site is not for sale. I do a limited number of commissioned pieces each year of more complex works, and those are undertaken for a mutually agreed, client-nominated price, prior to producing an approved design for the work.

Some of the work shown includes step-by-step versions and some also includes more comprehensive step-by-step descriptions of the work.

In time I intend to add detailed instructional materials and patterns in downloadable pdf form for free and for sale on a Shop Page.
