Five years ago, he taught himself woodcarving as a way to spend more time in the small wooded area he manages in the mountains of North Wales. Using only an axe and a knife, he began carving wooden spoons from windfallen wood.\u00a0Since the weather in the UK makes for a plentiful supply of naturally fallen wood, Giles found no need to seek alternative sources. He soon abandoned his life as a designer and photographer to pursue woodcarving full-time.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I wanted to have a minimal impact on nature which in turn, I hope, serves to <em>reinforce<\/em> rather than <em>undermine<\/em> my creative intentions.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Giles uses the natural features of wood, such as knots and other elements often considered imperfections, as a guide for creating. Instead of seeing the wood as a blank canvas and forcing his ideas into reality, Giles &#8220;finds and interprets the forms that already exist within.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">To learn more, visit Giles&#8217;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gilesnewman.com\/carving-kits-and-supplies\">website<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/giles__newman\/\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gilesnewmancarving\">Facebook<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCC6x4tlaGr-qXmuV2NbJZ_A\">YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-19073 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/woodcarving.zeeframes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/WEB-WCI91-Cover-Landing-Page-285x370.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"285\" height=\"370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/woodcarvingillustrated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/WEB-WCI91-Cover-Landing-Page-285x370.jpg 285w, https:\/\/woodcarvingillustrated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/WEB-WCI91-Cover-Landing-Page-42x55.jpg 42w, https:\/\/woodcarvingillustrated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/WEB-WCI91-Cover-Landing-Page-300x389.jpg 300w, https:\/\/woodcarvingillustrated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/WEB-WCI91-Cover-Landing-Page-150x195.jpg 150w, https:\/\/woodcarvingillustrated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/WEB-WCI91-Cover-Landing-Page-385x500.jpg 385w, https:\/\/woodcarvingillustrated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/WEB-WCI91-Cover-Landing-Page.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 285px) 100vw, 285px\" \/><\/td>\n<td>\n<div>\n<p>Get the Summer 2020 issue:<\/p>\n<p>[button link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.foxchapelpublishing.com\/woodcarving-illustrated-issue-91-summer-2020.html&#8221; bg_color=&#8221;#ff0000&#8243;]Purchase the Issue[\/button]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>For more articles like this, subscribe to Woodcarving Illustrated magazine.<\/p>\n<p>[button link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.foxchapelpublishing.com\/wood-carving-illustrated-subscription.html&#8221; bg_color=&#8221;#ff0000&#8243;]Magazine Subscription[\/button]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>Plus!
