Exciting news here at David Warther Carvings! David's latest ship, Master of the Great River, is now complete and part of our exhibit! It's a highly decorated ancient Egyptian vessel that sailed up and down the Nile River, carrying cargo. A family operated the ship and lived in the cabin at the back. David spent 3 months working on this beauty, and it is his 95th ship carving. Come see for yourself!
