About the Artist

A passion for woodcarving, a passion for animal rescue - Triple C Woodworking is borne! During the 1999 Christmas season, Rob Mock was pondering a unique stocking stuffer for his wife -- cologne, CDs and, yes, even tennis balls and chapstick, were becoming too routine. Although he hadn't engaged in woodcarving since childhood, Rob collected some rudimentary tools and decided to carve a bookmark. While the bookmark did not survive (thanks to mass destruction from one of Rob's canine kids), a passion for woodcarving flourished. Since 1999, Rob has carved many masterpieces ranging from miniature collectables to larger items. In addition to woodcarving, Rob is also adept at building items, whereby a mere block of wood evolves into an artistic creation. In doing so, Rob has worked with a wide range of tools, woods, stains and other items necessary to perfect his craft. His versatility, patience, and unrelenting attention to detail are evident in every aspect of his work. Always seizing opportunities to expand his talents, Rob proactively pursed a guitar-building apprenticeship opportunity with J. Warwick Guitars, a position Rob has now assumed for two years. Rob and Jim Warwick's complementary talents and unrelenting imaginations allow them to pursue a common vision, resulting in stunning creations. More about J. Warwick Guitars can be found at www.jwarwickguitars.com Rob is also actively involved with animal rescue. Specifically, since 1998, Rob has devoted endless hours for Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA), a local no-kill animal rescue organization, dedicated to finding permanent homes for dogs and cats, while simultaneously promoting efforts to control the pet population. Triple C Woodcarving reflects the convergence of Rob's woodworking skills and animal rescue endeavors, for a portion of all Triple C proceeds are donated to FOHA. So the mystery still remains unsolved, what does Triple C stand for? Crazy Canine Creations - a tribute to both the art of woodworking and animal rescue.
