One of the 1,139 visitors to the fifth annual Wood Expo on Saturday, Sept. 14 examines a sculpture labelled “study of a warrior” that is well over six feet tall. The carving is a work in progress by Francis Krutsky, one of two dozen Coast exhibitors in the Seaside Centre in Sechelt. Krutsky, originally from the Czech Republic, moved to the Coast in 2015; he described his work as inspired by his original profession, restoring Baroque architectural elements. The warrior is carved from a red alder driftwood log. Along with wood sculptures, the artisans displayed wood furniture, boats, bowls and knives with wood handles – all of it made on the Coast. The Wood Expo is sponsored by the Sunshine Coast Community Forest, a logging company owned by the District of Sechelt that is required, by market forces, to sell its timber off-Coast.
