Bruce Edmundson began wood carving in the early 1990s while working in the forest industry doing timber development and silviculture work. Interest in high quality wood was a natural development of working in the BC forests. An especial interest was the locally exotic or unusual. The natural result is burls. These abnormal growths found on most trees demonstrate - to the extreme - the characteristics that people cherish in wood.

“I Threw a Rock into a Pond” is based upon the wonder and joy of childhood, when throwing a stone into still water and watching it ripple outward was somehow awe inspiring. – Bruce Edmundson
