Blog Site
Along with this web site, I have begun a White Eagle Studios Web Log located at: www.WhiteEagleStudios.WordPres.com
The Web Log is being created with the intention of providing basic instruction in carving, carving tips and news on woodcarving and whittling… and to introduce you to some pretty fine artists of today and yesteryear. You will want access the web log often as new postings will be added weekly.
White Eagle Studios is a studio operated by Michael Keller, catering to distinctive wood sculpture and art. From myth and magic, Michael Keller holds a passion to create meaningful, thought-provoking legacies in wood. Each piece is unique and is intended to strike a soulful cord in the observer. You are encouraged to take the time to closely examine a beautiful piece of wood... maybe something you pick up from the forest floor. Notice its rich, deep color and texture. Notice its grain and its smell. Wood can impact each of the senses in wonderful ways. Michael Keller believes that wood holds a grandness in nature not found in anything else. A good piece of art is timeless and shall be admired by unlimited future generations. Emerson once said: “Perpetual modernness is the measure of merit in every work of art.” Michael Keller creates meaningful art, treasured forever.

White Eagle Studios Commitment
A Reverence for Wood
“The century of magnificent awareness preceding the Civil War was the age of wood. Wood was not accepted simply as the material for building a new nation - it was inspiration. Gentle to touch, exquisite to contemplate, tractable in creative hands, stronger by weight than iron, wood was, as William Penn had said, 'a substance with a soul.' It spanned rivers for man; it built his home and heated it in the winter; man walked on wood, slept in it, sat on wooden chairs at wooden tables, drank and ate the fruits of trees from wooden cups and dishes. From cradle of wood to coffin of wood, the life of man was encircled by it.”
