Celebrating 30 years in business 1991-2021

John Hoesman, the Carving Fool

Ohio State Football Coach Larry Johnson

Welcome to my website! If you are searching for hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind gifts, a special piece of artwork for your home, or a colorful pin to wear with that new jacket, I may be able to help.

The galleries on the following web pages show samples of my woodcarvings, including caricatures of coaches and famous and not-so-famous people, pins and refrigerator magnets, and ornaments and other hand-carved items. For those of you looking for something to hang on the wall, I also offer paintings and drawings, samples of which are shown in separate galleries on this site.

I try to make ordering as simple as possible for you and will do my best to meet your deadlines. Thanks for visiting my website. I hope you find your visit enjoyable.

This week at "The Works," May 9 - 15, 2021.

I will carve Ohio State Coach Ryan Day, Notre Dame Coach Knute Rockne, and work on custom carvings, leaf carvings, and smaller relief and chip carvings. I will also continue work on acrylic and oil paintings. Work on pen and ink drawings and charcoal drawings will continue.

What can I do?

I specialize in woodcarvings of people. While I'm best known for my carvings of famous coaches, I have done carvings of Hollywood stars, historical figures, and celebrities; but mostly, I do carvings of the people who my customers' treasure the most - their parents, children, and co-workers. I even do woodcarvings of their pets.

New Paintings and Drawings!

I paint and draw every day. Check out my better efforts on the "Paintings" and "Drawings" pages.
