Carving Cypress Knees

Carving Cypress Knees

Carving Cypress Knees.  Discover the unique characters hidden inside the strange and wonderful world of Cypress Knees. We have both an Instruction Book and the Cypress Knees themselves.

Cypress Knees are extraordinary and exquisite natural wonders, which grow up from the roots of the Bald Cypress Tree, that grow in the swamps and bayous of Southern USA.  No two are alike and each cypress knee has its own unique shape and size. Harvesting these knees does not injure the tree in any way and the tree soon forms another knee and continues to grow. These knees are quite soft and easy to carve with either hand or power tools.

Our cypress can be carved, painted, relief-carved and then painted, or decorated in many different ways.  These are beautiful when carved or made into other decorative pieces. They will look great displayed in your home.  No two are alike and each cypress knee has its own unique shape and size.

Consider the book too!   Inside the book you will find all the tips and techniques you need including: basic instruction, design and composition featuring 8 patterns, full color gallery of completed carvings, 3 detailed step by step demonstrations of a Knee Spirit, Father Christmas and an Elf. 88 pages
