Roger Pilkey is country through and through, raised on a small Ontario farm surrounded by forest and the fresh air of the country. He grew up spending much of his time in those back woods. Roger’s love of the outdoors led him to find Doug Linker on YouTube. When Doug started posting carving videos Roger gave it a try, that’s when fell in love with the art of woodcarving. Roger became a regular customer of Chipping Away making him the perfect friend to invite into our classroom to teach some beginner skills. Like many, Roger found this joyful craft during the pandemic and has invested a great deal of serious time over the the past three years building his skills and becoming a highly skilled carver. He admits he finds inspiration in Woodcarving Illustrated magazine, many books, and YouTube videos.
