Sara Reinthaler
Sara Reinthaler has always enjoyed making things with her hands in a variety of mediums, but discovered her love for working with wood in 2017, when she took a woodcarving class at The American Woodcarving School in New Jersey. Beginning with mostly relief carving using a mallet, chisels and gouges, she created works in both basswood and cottonwood bark. Upon moving to North Carolina in 2020, she joined the Triad Woodcarvers club where she has been honing her knife skills and was introduced to chip carving, She has entered some of her carvings into local shows in Charlotte, Hickory and Clemmons where she has received awards for multiple pieces. She loves to try new woodcarving techniques and styles and is currently working on some love spoons and hiking sticks in addition to some larger relief pieces.
