PEOPLE WALKING the curving paths of Ferry Island
may. have spotted the occasional carving of an old
man's face, peering down at them from a cottonwood

_ tree, Last week the mystery carver revealed himself
as Rick Goyette.

_ Mystery carver
comes forward

“] SAW the newspaper on the table at work, and there
were the pictures of my carvings. Jt was unbelievable.”

_, That was the reaction of Rick Goyette, also known as the
mystery carver of Ferry Island, when he saw his carvings
featured on the front of last week’s community section.
Goyette’s identity wasn’t known at the time the story was

- printed. The 32-year-old is far from the image of an elderly,
ative man that many people thought had carved the faces
of old men into cottonwaod trees on the island.

-- Goyette started carving the tiny faces last spring.

~~ “T used to go down to Ferry Island to collect wood for

” carving,” said Goyette. He started carving four years ago,
and decided to start practicing his craft on thickly barked

-Cottonwood trees which Line one of the island’s paths.

..:- Hach face takes him a couple of hours to do, and he cn-

"joys. watching the progress his carving is making. He

© ¢atimates there are approximately 27 faces, and one owl.
Sometimes people will walk by as he js carving, but often

“”. they don’t even notice what he is doing,

Adults don’t tend to see them (the carvings) very
~~. often,’’ says Goyette, “It’s usually kids who spot them.”

. Carving is just a hobby right now for Goyette, something

which helps him to balance the monotony of his full time

Jobs He doesn’t limit his craft to trees, and has made some

* Jamger carvings which he occasionally sells.
“1m just a beginner at this,’ he says.

‘Although he claims to be a beginner, he has an unusual
