Harley Refsal is an internationally recognized figure carver, specializing in Scandinavian flat-plane style of woodcarving. He was born and raised on a farm near Hoffman, Minnesota, which was homesteaded by his Norwegian-immigrant grandparents. He began working in wood as a young boy and went on to live in Norway and teach at Luther college in Decorah, IA. The Postcards team interviewed him at his home there to record this special tribute to this beloved instructor.

I was fortunate to know Harley and learn from him during my time at Luther College, and just want to say that he is an absolute gem of a man. His love of the craft is infectious, and his knowledge, kindness, and patience make him a joy to be around.

What a great video! I was fortunate enough to take a class with Mr. Refsal once. Not only was the class interesting and very enjoyable, but Harley was truly one of he nicest and kindest people I had ever met! His books are wonderful, but meeting him in person and taking a class from him is unbeatable! Thank you, Harley Refsal!

Was so happy to find this today....and wow, what a nice presentation of Harley and his work. Been a carver for a couple of decades and I do appreciate Harvey style, skill and dedication to the craft. Well Done.

Such an inspirational video! I got into carving late in life. It is such a joy to me. As our world gets crazier and crazier it brings a little bit of peace and magic to my life.

‘The world isn’t counting on a little whittle project, but we need that here (points at heart, and head)’. I just discovered that recently and that really resonates

Beautiful story and really great video. Thanks a lot for making this for all of us woodcarver and non-woodcarver to see.

This was a wonderful video, thank you for sharing. Mr. Refsal’s carvings are amazing but what I admire most is his commitment to encouraging others to take up carving or other hand work. Thank you Harley!

King Harold was my colonel in chief of my old regiment The Green Howard’s and we use to have this hard compilation each year to win the king Harold company but no one wanted to win it because the next year that company had to do all the shows which where a pain in the arse as well lol

Excellent video and the work of Harley Refsal. I have taken many classes from Harley enjoyed everyone - I love and enjoyed that time I have had with Harley and working on woodcarvings and the methods he has taught. I hope to continue this goal to help others to produce wood chips and more little folks and Dala horse, many carrots and fishes. Takk skal du ha Harley du er inspirasjon..

@esbenback8839 Год назад

Thanks for a wonderfull video. I have one question to ask. Which kind of Wood did you use for carving when you lived in Norway ? I live in Denmark and have no basswood. Very best regards Esben Back.
