Doug now lives east of Gatlinburg / Pigeon Forge, south of Biltmore Mansion in Asheville NC and northwest of Boone NC and the Appalachians.

In the United States there are many wood carvers, but very few who are true detail artisan sculptors.

In his early years Doug Henne was known as a highly respected custom knife maker and bone carver from the Carolinas to the Ohio River Valley. His precision of detail, coupled with the creativity of each natural scene, brought accolades from public and fellow artisans.
Of course they took notice when the chainsaw entered his hand.

Tennessee Wood Carvings

When Doug moved to Tennessee, he focused on perfecting his skill of using a chainsaw to turn a cut log from a tree into a living masterpiece.

Living? That is what his clients say. The animals seem to catch the life of the tree the log came from, and it mesmerizes the eyes.

"The carvings of Doug almost seem to be alive. A true gift."

"I study anatomy of the animals. I love nature and the movement of the animals. Their muscles are different when they are alert compared to when they are at rest."
