Snake Life Carvings

Snake Life Carvings My passion for carving snakes comes from my love and admiration for these reptiles.

I’ve personally owned and worked with snakes for over 25 years so I have intimate knowledge of the size, scale and structure of my subjects.

Currently working on these little hatchling loggerhead turtles for a woodworking project. Then it’s back to snake carvings! I have several Burmese Python commissions to do next! 🐍🐢

Although not a snake carving, I just completed this 3-Gun Winners Trophy with an actual Civil War cannonball for my neighbor! He came by and picked it up today. While here his wife called and he said to her, “he is definitely a talented woodworker, but not a talented shooter” (he’s not wrong) 😂😭

My stepson graduated from University of Florida Medical School today officially earning the title, Dr. Austin Eason, MD. We are so happy and excited for him as he begins his residency at Tuffs Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts this summer! I’m so honored to present him with a carving of the medical symbol, the Rod of Asclepius.

Aesculapian snake, the Rod of Asclepius. Carved in American Walnut. Probably one of the quickest turn around I’ve had to do!! But done in time for my stepson’s graduation from medical school!
❤️🤗

I had ChatGTP make a sketch of my carving and explain the history behind the symbol. Wow. Just wow. 🐍💚

Burmese Python trophy prototype to be presented to a South Florida agency in hopes of gaining some commissions. I’m super happy with the painting, but feel that the periscope neck looks a little odd. Any thoughts?

Carved in Eastern Red Cedar. Thank you to my wife for the excellent pictures! 📸

I write everything down, it’s just easier for me to catalog my work, take notes on paint recipes and record time. I’m biased (it’s my sister’s paintings & designs), but these themed notebooks are great. You can buy them on Amazon. Check out Christine Mercer-Vernon. Of course, my favorite is the black rat. 🐍🤷🏼‍♂️
