David Parsons Woodwork
Parsons grew up a babe in the Oregon woods - under the wood chipper machine of his family's business; Parsons Pine Products in southern Oregon. He's never gotten the wood shavings out of his head or hair. Stunning wreathes made exclusively with hand held chisels, in Parsons' capable hands make overlapping leaves for a rich pine wall mounted warm presence for home. Consider Plato's “honeyed head” in profile carved and chiseled as a wall plaque to illustrate Parsons' favorite classic tale. Another Parsons's wall plaque inspired from the Himalayas – The Tibetan Zodiac, is intricately rendered in deep relief. A square shaped, yet graceful wreath, features an encircling languid curling ribbon running through the leaves bearing the french phrase. “La plus change la plus la meme chose.” C'est vrai.
