RARE Paul W. Eshelman Wood Bird Carving Roherstown PA MCM Folk Art Signed
Eshelman Wood Bird Carving Roherstown PA MCM Signed The art piece measures approx 8″ tall and 9″ wide and about 3.5 deep. This includes the base. This piece was in the private collection of a resident here in Lancaster County PA. It is in excellent condition. I don’t know the type of wood that was used. It is marked on the base. Although he was highly regarded as a teacher, Eshelman was, perhaps, best known as a wood turner- a master of the lathe. Eshelman primarily used local woods such as walnut, wild cherry, and ash for his works. Much of his wood was obtained from fallen trees. Bowls were Eshelman’s specialty, but the craftsman also made furniture, candlesticks and various other utilitarian objects. He also made several bird carvings. Eshelman’s wood creations won several awards and were exhibited widely. In 1958, his work was exhibited along with four other wood artists in the American Pavilion at the Brussels World’s Fair. Some of his work is in the collections at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City.
