Known for the incredible characters that come to life in wood, here's another engaging carving by Bruce Futterer! This sweet, strong Nordic grandmother in her flowered babushka carries a stack of split birch firewood with one hand in her pocket as she gives a little side eye to someone who maybe she's asked ten times to bring in some wood for the fire! Bruce teaches Scandinavian Style Figure Carving as well as classes that specialize in facial details or general wood carving. This little lady stands 6 1/2" tall. Never underestimate the strength of a good Nordic grandma-she'll carry in the firewood, but it might come with a heap of side-eye too.
Bruce has been an avid carver since 1977. Since 2000, Bruce has won numerous blue ribbons at the International Carving Competition held each year in Davenport, Iowa. In 2004 his Santa Claus carving was selected as the National Grand Prize winner in the Woodcraft/Wood Carving Illustrated contests. In 2006, Bruce won Best of Show at the National Caricature Carvers Competition, and in 2005, he was awarded a Gold Medal for Scandinavian style carving from the Vesterheim Norwegian American Museum. Bruce was raised in Grand Marais and returns to the North Shore each summer.
