Welcome to Wood Carving by Terry Bupp-Petersheim. I use a combination of power and hand tools to hand carve unique walking canes, walking sticks, hiking sticks and animals out of wood. Each cane or stick is custom made by hand. The cane can also have words carved down the length of the cane. My walking and hiking sticks are unique because you can swap wrist straps and stick toppers. I even have children's shoes that can attach to the bottom of the sticks. My goal is to make each carving distinctive and useful. I enjoy being creative and trying different ideas for wood carving. I am also open to new ideas so you can design your own carving for me to carve.

Power carving and hand carving is a hobby of mine that has turned into a small business. This site has pictures and information about my wood carving. You can use these pictures for ideas for your own carving. This site will give you an idea of what my carvings look like as well as information on how to contact me and order carvings from me.

You can personalize a wooden cane by having me carve your own words and handle on a hand carved walking cane. For example, the dachshund cane could have the names of your pets carved on the cane or the motorcycle cane could have the names of your family carved on the cane. Check out my carving gallery to see examples of words carved down the length of the cane. Feel free to design your own cane and contact me for an estimate. 

Here is a partial list of the canes that I have carved. You can see examples of the canes in my carving gallery. I have carved a cat cane, dachshund cane, fox cane, fish cane, nittany lion cane, wolf cane, bear cane, carpenter cane  with either a saw or hammer handle, motorcycle cane, football cane, Isaiah 40 cane (Wings as eagles), Matthew 6 cane (Lord's prayer), Psalms 23 cane (The Lord is my shepherd), Psalms 118 cane (This is the day that the Lord has made), Santa cane, Betty Boop cane, derby handle cane, fritz handle cane and grandpa's pattern cane. This list grows as people commision more canes. I also whittle chickens from tree branches to give me a break from carving.
