The Wood Artistry and Craftsmanship of Charlie Mills, Sr!

"The Sea farin' Collection”!

For many years my Father operated a contracting business in Philadelphia. But he had a hidden artistic passion. He would sit at night in his chair when I was a kid molding various caricatures out of clay. It was amazing how many different figures he would create in one night while we would watch television. It almost seemed he'd produce a different creation at each commercial break. As he grew older, he discovered wood - and began to seriously hone his wood carving skills. Below you'll find some pictures of the variety of wood carvings he made for me. Each represents a different stage in his carving career. He has a very unique style, and that is what makes his carvings different, unique, one of a kind and incomparable.
