Eldon Humphreys
Eldon Humphreys, a resident of Guelph, Ontario, is a retired Chief Superintendent of the Ontario Provincial Police.

When he started carving in 1983, he soon found that the art of caricature carving fit right in with his ability to see the humorous side of things. He used caricature to show the funny side of police work, something he knew very well.

He soon began carving a wide variety of subjects in this style, and that was the beginning of a wonderful new career. He has since become better known for his Scottish carvings including a 29-piece pipe & drum band. His Scottish carvings reflect his heritage and the area where he lives.

Carving and teaching carving have become a way of life for him. Winters are spent in Naples, Florida, where he is a member of the Golden Gate Carving Club. Eldon teaches carving using the carve-along method at his seminars for woodcarving clubs.

He is Past-President of both the Mississauga and Lake Huron Wood Carvers and a former Vice-President of the Ontario Wood Carvers. He is a member of the Affiliated Wood Carvers and the National Wood Carvers, and was invited to become a member of the Caricature Carvers of America is 1996.

Eldon is available to teach woodcarving seminars. His carvings are available for sale and he accepts commission work
