Arieta Originals
Artist,Wood Carver

Al Arieta, a native Californian, and wife Gloria have owned and operated West Point Lumber (Ace Hardware) since 1977. Al began his carving in 1994 as a form of relaxation from the hectic pace of business ownership. Arieta started with his chainsaw and as time evolved his love of both wild life and the out of doors he began observing and hand carving local birds for pleasure. His finished works have found their way into many private collections through out the USA. Al's style is a blend of both traditional and artistic rendering. By presenting the finished carvings in their natural habitat he creates a realistic study of mother natures winged treasures. Al's work is on display and available for sale at the Sawdust Gallery, West Point, California.
