Barrie Graham

I have always enjoyed creating objects from discarded bits of wood, whether it is an old branch fallen from the tree or reclaimed bits of wood from old doors and furniture from an early age. I get most pleasure from creating Wood Spirits or the Green Man in many differing forms whether it is in a walking stick or a centre piece for the garden, and recently I have spent more and more time in wandering my local Dolgoch Woods and Llanymynech Common here on the Shropshire / Mid Wales border, where I am a Volunteer Warden for Shropshire Wildlife Trust searching for interesting pieces that I can work on. In some ways I feel like one of the very Wood Spirits I find in my carvings, as I feel very much at peace in the Woods and surrounding countryside and in my role as a Warden looking after the welfare of the woods and its wildlife is exactly what a Wood Spirit also does. I consider myself extremely fortunate being able to do what I love for a living and living where I do with my Family, and if You are ever this way I will gladly show You around.

The majority of my carvings are made to order, so you won't see anything for sale on this site but if you would like to have a Wood Spirit of your very own then please get in touch as I would gladly create one for you whether its small or large.
