“ I know the league I’m operating in….But you get into line and if you have even a passing acquaintance with what the tradition is, I think it’s appropriate to recognize that you’re not going to be at the head of that line.”
Leonard Cohen
My name is Andras Erci. I live in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I'm a woodcarver, woodworker and other things.
I carve almost exclusively freshly fallen, still wet, "green" wood to make bowls, spoons, shrink pots.
The logs I utilize are predominantly sourced from those destined for firewood, scattered across the city, found on Craigslist, or given by friends.
When I get larger logs I'll mill them with my chainsaw for cutting boards, stools, benches, bookshelves, cabinets, side and coffee tables and whatever comes to my mind.
I hope the pieces you see here will inspire, assist your own creative journey. Should you have any question or comment or if a particular item catches your eye, feel free to reach out via email. As new works become available, I will be posting them for sale. Additionally, I welcome custom orders just send me an email and we'll go from there.
Thank you for taking the time to look,
Andras
