The tap-tap-tap sound of the mallet against the wood and the aroma of the wood itself gave Mike Medow the euphoric high necessary to create his whimsical masterpieces.
Medow has spent over 50 years of his life carving, chiseling, scraping, sanding, smoothing and sculpting all kinds of wood into anything and everything he imagined.
“I’ve always had this creative bone in my body. Many years ago, I visited an artist’s studio and when I walked in, the smell of wood got to me. I could smell the pine and it felt very familiar. I knew that I had to do this and ran out and bought a couple of chisels,” he said.
