About the Author<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cCarve whatever makes you happy. If you start a project but find that it no longer interests you, try to think of ways to tweak the pattern to turn it into something you are more passionate about. This is the key to a prolific carving career,\u201d James wrote.<\/p>\n

James Miller started carving at the age of 11 after being inspired by family members who dabbled in woodworking. A software developer by trade, James enjoys the creative challenge of simplifying and abstracting forms in unique ways. For more of his work, visit fb.com\/jrm.woodcarving.<\/a><\/p>\n
