Carving Character: Expression and Detail in Wood with Jonathan Creason

In this episode of The Modern Woodcarver Podcast, I sit down with character carver Jonathan Creason to talk about bringing personality to life in wood.

Jonathan is known for his expressive character-style carvings packed with incredible detail and emotion. We dive into how he developed his carving style, his approach to capturing lifelike expressions, and the intentional cuts that turn a simple block of wood into a piece full of personality.

We also talk about his YouTube journey, sharing the carving process online, and what he’s currently working on.

If you’re interested in carving expressive faces, developing your own style, or learning how to share your craft with the world, this episode is for you.

Be sure to follow the podcast and share it with a fellow carver.
