Welcome!
 
Japa Carvings are individually hand carved wooden sculptures carved by Peter Damp. 
 
Peter has been interested in wood carving since the age of 7 and is completely self taught.  Growing up in Germany and then Atlanta,Georgia, he spent a great deal of time observing nature and wildlife and developed a love for the beauty and complexity in the world around us.  He began with a simple set of tools and a block of wood and developed a lifelong love of creating.
 
Over the years, Peter has continued to develop his skills and broaden his subjects and medium.  He most enjoys carving wildlife posed in nature and human faces posed in thought.
