Old time Swedish master carver Axel Petersson "Döderhultarn"

[Tjurved]

Hello don't know how vell know Döderhultarn, born 1868, is abroad so I thought I start a thread about him here . He was a really great wood carver, master of expressions. He had a very rough but highly refined style. Take a look for some inspiration.

Very cool. Particularly like the racing horses.

And seems he had a bit of humour too... https://www.bukowskismarket.com/en/552833-axel-petersson-doderhultarn-skulptur-tra-2-delar-signerade.
