He found inspiration in antique objects and a deep connection to wood. After attending a workshop to learn carving techniques, he realized he could transform his sketches into reality. Stenson upgraded his tools for efficiency and began experimenting with clay modeling to develop his designs. Now, he focuses on carving woodland creatures, emphasizing emotional connections in their representation, particularly through animals like bears and foxes.
Stenson emphasizes emotional perception through animals in his carvings, portraying the sweet slyness of a fox or a charming bear proud of its fresh catch.
