From Monday to Friday, Wales-native Giles Newman is a successful graphic designer, but on the weekends, he likes to step away from the computer screen and dedicate his time to his true passion; wood carving.
Newman started experimenting with wood carving a few years ago and first made cool wooden spoons with highly detailed handles in the shapes of animals and flowers. Later on, the artist started making figurines and wood necklaces, which ended up becoming really popular on social media.
In order to find the best material for these pieces, Newman frequently goes on walks through North Wales’ spectacular woods where he collects fallen branches and sticks, which will be later turned into works of art.
Check out some of his works below.
