Welcome to my Web site!

I am Richard G. Jackson.  I was born in Sullivan County, Indiana in 1938. My family moved to New Castle a short time later.

I became interested in woodcarving as a hobby in 1989 and attended a woodcarving class that was given by the Raintree Woodcarver's Club and held at the public library.

I retired from Chrysler Corporation ( New Castle Machining and Forge Division) in 1995 and begin to have more time to spend on my woodcarving hobby.

I entered in to woodcarving competition at various carving shows in the area and begin to earn awards for my carvings.  Over the years I have exhibited in the Raintree Woodcarver's Club show, the Eastern Woodland Carving Club show, Dayton Carvers Guild show, International Woodcarvers Congress show (Bettendorf, Iowa) and many others in the area.
