HISTORY OF S.R. WHITE CARVING & SON

When you pick up a woodcarving and see the name “WHITE”, you will be holding a quality folk art reproduction made by S. R. White Carving & Son, established by the husband and wife team of Steve and Linda White.

Steve Richard White began his woodcarving career in 1980 and he established S. R. White Gunstocking; focusing on the crafting of early American flintlock rifles. In the mid 1980’s, he met and married his wife Linda and they began S. R. White Carving, with Steve carving and Linda painting. The two talents combined to produce their own style of decoys and folk art carvings. In 2016 their son, Steven White Jr, joined them in the wood shop.

S. R. White Carving & Son makes stylized reproductions of ducks, shorebirds, songbirds, fish, nautical, and folk art woodcarvings. We make each carving from kiln dried white pine and hand paint them with acrylic paints.  Our unique “10 step antique process”, which we have developed after years of experimentation, provides a beautiful distressed patina that enhances the character of the wood.  We brand each piece with the “WHITE©” name and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

The Whites’ continue to create stylized reproductions of early American Folk Art that are destined to be heirlooms for future generations.
