Tom Lowe is The Wildwood Carver, and with the help of his wife, Roberta Lowe, they sell beautiful, hand-made bowls and utensils. They also sell imaginative, Seussian* sculptures that are truly one of a kind. Tom has been a woodcarver for 30 years, and his attention to detail is unmistakable. He coats each piece with mineral oil-beeswax paste for protection and durability. Tom can even make custom shapes in about two weeks!
