Keith has been carving since 2001. He grew up around carvers but never took up the craft until recuperating from a knee injury. He started carving with just one basic knife and has now switched over to being a power carver. Keith has competed in many competitions, winning many first place ribbons including Best of Open. Watch Keith’s fun and easy way to carve critters, including detailed instruction on burning fur and painting the final carving.
Keith was born and raised in east Tennessee. He is a construction worker by trade. Keith is mostly a self taught carver, but has taken classes and received helpful advice from some of the best carvers in the country. Keith works and teaches at Smokey Mountain Woodcarvers in Townsend, Tennessee.
