Paula Elias Woodcarving Page

Welcome to my webpage. My name is Paula Elias and I have been carving since 1980. Most all of my carvings are of animals, with the exception (so far) was 'Lady Liberty' carved from mahogany. Since moving to Bella Vista, Arkansas I have increased my carving time and projects.

The 'American Bison' came into conception when I found a slab of black walnut cut from a burl. It incubated in my mind for about a month before I ever started carving him. Once I saw the bison, I realized it could be nothing else. The carving took

6 1/2 months of fairly regular carving. I and my husband Bill who is also a woodcarver, carried him to carving sessions at Rose Tools in Hiwasse, Arkansas.

The 'American Bison' in its final form was birthed after 8 months of work and inspiration. He weighs approx. 30 pounds and measures 40"x48".

This website does cost money to run At BizLand, the term "bandwidth" refers to the total amount of information that has been served to visitors from your site during a given month. BizLand allows a certain amount of bandwidth usage each month, based on my hosting membership.

Every file on my Web site has a size (e.g., 24K); and every time a file is downloaded by a visitor, my bandwidth usage goes up by that amount. , the information here is free for all but if you could make a small donation it would help us out a lot to maintain the costs and to keep the old catalogs coming!
