Military Carvings

Hi, my name is Paul and I started to make Military Carvings during the lockdown of 2020. I have been carving over 50 years. My dad who served in the 10th Gloucester Regiment during the Burma War, taught me when I was a young boy.

Each badge is hand carved from a piece of lime wood approximately 23" x 10" in size. It has a hanger on the back so that it can be easily wall mounted. Once the carving is complete it is sealed with a shellac sealer to protect it from the elements and then waxed to give it a lustre finish. Name, rank and number are also added to give the carving a personal touch.

Since the lockdown began I have carved around 60 badges, all of different regiments. Examples are the Gilder Pilot Regiment, The Royal Artillery, and the Royal Electrical Mechanical Engineers. My aim is to raise money through my carvings for our World War Two and Post War Veterans. With each commissioned piece I donate a second carving free of charge to our Veterans. I also donate carvings for auction and as raffle prizes to Veteran charities ro help raise much needed funds.

Being a veteran's son, I wanted to give something back to those who gave so much for us. If I can bring a smile to just one of our heroes then I know what I am doing is worthwhile.

If you would like further information about any of my carvings and the work that I do for our veterans please feel free to contact me at any time.
