The Whittler & Chip

Thursday, May 10, 2018

Richard Bordwell's Debbie contacted me and shared some photos of a shoe and a Spanish cart created by the Whittler. She also shared a Christmas postcard showing Richard carving a shoe.

Thanks for sharing these and the kind words Debbie.

About

Richard Bordwell and his son Mike were my grandfather and father. Both were not only skilled carpenters but artistic woodcarvers. Their work can be found scattered across American and beyond. My grandfather signed his work The Whittler and my father was Chip as in a chip of wood from the Whittler.

Known for their wooden cobbler shoes and cowboy boots their art can also be found in the decoration of grandfather clocks, headboards, drawer pulls, wall hangings, stand alone figures, urns, and even full size totem poles.

My goal is to display the works I can find so perhaps they can be shared by all. If you find or know of a piece please contact me.
