Sculpture Gardens, Commemoration Statuary, Monumental Sculptures? Yes...and A Guided Tour too!
If you’re read’n this, you have found the Timeless Sculptures’ website! Whether you got here on the Yahoo, Google or EBay express, seems, the cyber-highway has smiled on you today. Mapquest’ll get you here too, but since you’re here now we’re glad ta have your cyber-self! Names Jed, Clampet that is and yes I do come from Beverly. Nice to meet you too! OK, I know you have questions about the Clampet thing, don’t fret over it. See, even us retired sit-com characters wanta keep on goin and seems cyber-space is a fun ‘ol place to wander. I imagine I have taken a shine to this ol website.
You bumped into a right handy site here, for home owners, architects, churches, anyone who needs a sculpture made, commemoration statuary to monumental sculptures, these boys can do!
So let them search engines cool for a spell, in fact holler up them home-folk, they’ll want’a see this too!
That’s it, don’t trip now ladies. Follow me; I’ll take you ‘round the front here, right into the sculpture garden. Stomp yer boots off will ya? No need track’n any unwelcome digits from off the ‘ol cyber-highway-- know what I mean?
As you can see, this garden is built of wood chips, logs, stumps and stones. We’ll jus have us a sit here on some of this custom wood furniture and enjoy the garden sculpture and wildlife sculpture while I tell you about this place… That’s solid wood furniture there…set a spell, take yer shoes off …
Mind if I pluck out a tune on the old banjo?
OK here goes…
Gonna tell you all a story about a man named Matt.
30 years of chainsaw carving made him carve like that!
Then one day, he was lookin in the mirror
When into his mind comes a plan to build a park!
Freedom Park that is…advance of freedom…liberty…
Well the next thing you know, old Matt’s on the internet
When his doctor calls to say Matt your gett’n pretty fat!
So he took precautionary measures, so to rest his chubby heart
And began to train apprentices to help him carve the park
Freedom Park that is…ship of fools...? Battle scars…
Thank you, thank you very much…yer so kind—OK folks, that’s enough…
Now listen up folks, here’s the story:
Calls himself Matthew G. Welter these days, just so you can find him on the internet’n all… This feller wants to help in winning the war on terror, by defeating the war on freedom! Now you may think this ain’t a place talk about such things. But if Matt gets his way and carves his monumental statuary, not to mention his commemoration sculptures, then folks’ll be talkin ‘bout freedom, for some time yet.
Just think about all them exstinked cultures…their sculptures are ‘bout all that’s left of the culture! Maybe cause folks try so hard to care for, say bronze Spiritual statues or Gothic Artwork, or even a Dragon Artwork, from another time... Where would this ‘ol world be with out greek sculpture, or Spiritual statuary, right down to today’s abstract sculpture. No doubt; same’ll be true tomorrow of today’s contemporary art and sculpture. From famous sculptors throughout time to some contemporary christian trumpet artist, the most treasured artworks to day will tell our story to the future.
Guess you didn’t know ‘bout my philosophical side...
I hope cyber space never goes away; for now it’s my home, but if it does, I think this fellow’s park could just speak to our future kin…descendants and the like. No doubt, he’ll have the last word, know’n Matthew…The images he’d like to leave in the park will be understood in any language, even if future folks can’t read, such as myself…
Matt says the commemoration statuary, will inspire it’s own maintenance, just like the cause the park is designed to mark. Just like freedom itself. Sounds nice, don’t it?
Matt says the reason for the war in Iraq is kind’a like a steak-in-the ground for the global war on terror. I da’ know…He thinks the whole thing is part a’ what he calls “the advance of freedom”—that’s what started it all. Matthew’s got some idea about carv’n a patriotic sculpture called The Advance of Freedom, out of one, gigantic redwood tree stump--some 14 feet thick! Oooow doggie! Matt says the massive sculpture could be around for centuries and would be understood by folks without any technology, or even language. My, that boy’s got some crazy ideas!
First, to practice up, the group will carve more memorial statuary, and commemoration sculpture. In fact, he’s fix’n to start a very special sculpture--that time-honored work-hoarse of patriotic statuary; The Statue of Liberty. He’s up to it, too…
Let’s go inside and see what kind’a wood carvings the boys are do’n today. Here’s the entrance, but before we go in I want you to look at this wood entry door. That’s one of the items Timeless Sculptures creates-- exterior wood doors—and interior wood doors for that matter. Ain’t them pretty woodcarvings…bird of prey, them eagles…
Anything Matt and his fine art friends do, they do it right! So any décor wood carvings you can think of, these folks’ll create especially for you at Timeless Sculptures. Now get yerself in there and have a look-see!
Must be 25 years ‘er more this feller-- “Matthew G. Welter”-- ran an art gallery. What kind of art galley? A real, brick and mortar art gallery, not like this fancy web-site. This one here is more of an online art gallery, parts of it are more like an online modern art gallery, all made of digits, words, images n’such, but the original Timeless Sculptures was built’ a timbers.
Remember, ol’ Matt’s a woodsman through’n through. I believe sap runs in that boy’s veins instead ‘a blood… If he aint create’n some kind ‘a chain saw art, he’s make’n some kind ‘a casting of chain saw art. In fact, give’m a wood carving knife or a wood carving tool of any kind and that boy’s happy! Do you believe it? Wood carving’s got him by the short hairs, there… Everyone has sump’n drives ‘em and this kid’s driven like a dern big spring to make art. Course all that art had ta’ have a have a place, and that place became an art gallery, and ‘ol Matt became an art gallery dealer by time he’s 15! Kind of an art hobby craft gallery dealer, know what I mean…one of them guys.
Just about 5 years ago Matt’n his helpers moved from Lake Tahoe into a bigger work shop, in Carson City—that’s the capital of Nevada. Seems the artworks come’n out ‘a Timeless Sculptures these days are almost all sold before they even get started. No need fer a real art gallery to sell wood carvings need ’n a home. Still, folks still talk about that fine art gallery with all the amazing sculptures at Lake Tahoe!
See, the gallery happened because his artist art studio happened, with all them palls ‘n apprentices o’his make‘n artworks. At first it was more an Indian art gallery, with all them wood’n Indians he was ‘a make’n. Then, for a while, it started t’look more like a fantasy art gallery with a wildlife wood carving or two here and their…it’s seen some changes. Most art galleries specialize--whether it be a Christian art gallery or a gothic art gallery but this’n was really sump’n special—it specialized in special. Aint nobody at Timeless Sculptures got no degree from the national art education association but over the years the studio produced sculptures that could hold their own in a fine art gallery, or any modern art gallery fer that matter—even a contemporary art gallery—some of what has been carved at Timeless Sculptures would even look swell in a big city abstract art gallery!
Point is, no matter what the style or type of sculpture, no matter what the size, when you commission Matthew Welter and the boys and girls at Timeless Sculptures to create a wooden wonder, they’ll make a sculpture specially for your décor and setting. Just look around this web-site for ideas about the type of wood sculpture or custom wood furniture, or even monumental statuary you can order here’n there…any wooden statuary you can dream up, you’ll find right here!
