Dylan Goodson is a self-taught woodcarver, born and raised in the woods of Coosa County, Alabama. He has always enjoyed making things, and since he had an ample supply of sticks and wood, he made lots of wooden boats and other toys as a child. In 2000, at age 14, he checked out every book in the public library about woodcarving. Since then he has
carved a wide range of subjects, from human figures to miniature animals, but he's found the most success with his pictorial relief scenes. In the fall of 2007, he taught his first class on relief carvings. Since then he's taught several classes around Alabama. He has also exhibited his work around the eastern United States, garnering top awards at some of the major woodcarving shows.
