David Frykman

David’s first true carving experience was in the winter of 1992-93 when he was invited to participate in local ice-carving competitions. This delightful experience provided David the opportunity to explore a whole new direction as a sculptor. Currently, David’s medium of choice is eastern white cedar, though he will still sneak off to the occasional ice competition! Cedar, which grows in abundance in Door County, is a knotty a brittle wood that frustrates many traditional carvers. However, David finds it carves particularly well with wood adapted ice carving tools.
