I've recently become interested in carving, in particular architectural carving. I'm looking for some photos or links to carvings, both in timbers, and other architectural elements. Can be from any region, i.e. U.S., U.K., Europe, Asia etc. Thanks.

Canada probably doesn't have any carvings anyway so I guess there is no point in including us. Hey, do Totem poles count?

Life is short so put your heart into something that will last a long time.

Totems are cool.

I don't know how prevalent carved timbers are in North America. The few pictures I have seen are of medieval English origin.

Back in 02 at Fox Maple in Maine, a student carved a "Lady in the Wood":







Here he is with his "Lady":



And she was looking fine:




Whatever you do, have fun doing it!
