Chris Boone 

Artist Profile

Combining crafts with his personal joy of hunting and fishing, Chris Boone began carving decoys at the age of twelve. His first carving tools were a gift from his parents who greatly influenced Chris to choose a career in the arts.

 
His carvings are primitive styled wooden sculpture from old world, modern and life reference. Favorite woods of Chris to carve from are cedar, pine and various hardwoods from the bountiful forests of North Carolina. He personally chooses each section of tree before beginning each sculpture. Shape and form are devined from the unique characteristics of every piece of wood. Chris further hones the natural essences by purposefully leaving lichen bark and moss attached making each one an original. A fine hand finish is applied to each bird to bring out subtle grain patterns and enhancing the colors of the wood while keeping an antiqued style.

Chris's 40 years of wood work has turned a hunter's tool into fine pieces of art.
