Kornelius the Karver
Howdy Pholks, Cornie Krahn here, better known in the carving world as Kornelius The Karver.
I’m a self taught carver in progress. I started carving in fall of 2019 and enjoy each new challenge.
I’ve had the privilege of carving alongside a few world class carver’s, as a helper in Hope, BC and most recently in Southern Ontario at a carving event. I am currently working on 9’ Polar Bear holding a Basketball and wearing a Winnipeg Seabears Jersey for the owners of the team.
I believe we are all born with gifts and talents that coincide with our God given purpose. Pursuing my purpose has become my lifestyle.
As a design builder by trade I enjoy doing specialty custom drawings and seeing the projects come together.
When I am not carving I also enjoy going for rides on my Harley, baking Sourdough Bread and Pizza. Last but not least spending time with friends, family and being Grandpa CornPop to my 6 grandchildren.
Lawrence Friesen
I have been carving about 7 years on and off but as a career for about 3 years. I have been artsy all my life, drawing since I was a kid and airbrushing bikes, vehicles and wall murals in my 20s. I stopped doing art until I started chainsaw carving about 7 years ago. One of the best parts of this “job” is to see the joy on people’s faces when they see my work. I believe God gives us all gifts. It’s up to us to pursue them and use them for His purpose.
