The studio in Hedley, British Columbia known as Woodchuck Woodcarving Studio, was closed in July 2009 and re-established as Charles Caspersen's - artisan woodcarving studio, 15K North of Gravelbourg, Sask.

This is a hobby artisan's studio. This studio was established to share my enjoyment in shaping materials with hand tools. I am also enjoying exploration into viking work in wood and the study of how our forefathers used wood as a decorative/functional aspects of their lives. It is also my wish to communicate to another generation, to encourage those with similar tastes and learnings to continue their own explorations and crafts.

It has been my pleasure and privilage over the years to chat and spend time with a goodly number of older carvers who were kind enough to offer me instruction and tips that have greatly improved my carving abilities, needless to say most of them are long gone and it is now my turn to help and hint at ways to todays carvers that they may carry on in their turn. To contact me I can reach by "To Contact" at top of webpage, and if you wish for a friendly voice please phone during the day on most days. If you choose to email cut and paste the email account located at the top of this site.
