Axel Petersson Döderhultarn
Axel Petersson Döderhultarn, formerly Axel Petersson, Woodcarver, (December 12, 1868 – March 15, 1925) was one of the recognized masters of wood carving, most famous for Scandinavian flat-plane style of woodcarving.
==Early years==
Axel Petersson Döderhultarn was born December 12, 1868 in the parish of Döderhult, Sweden (Oskarshamn Municipality). As a boy his primary interest was in whittling, and carving small figures. This activity was considered worthless by his friends and family in Sweden. His family decided the best thing for him to do as a young adult was to emigrate to the United States. Petersson did not emigrate to America, as his family had planned, and after a brief time away he moved back to help his now widowed mother in Oskarshamn, Sweden.
He worked on figure carving and sold figurines in the local market in Oskarshamn. Most of the figures he sold were refined traditional wood carvings. Sometime around 1900 he began to carve in a minimalist style. These are the carved figures he is most famous for. Many of these carvings sold in the local market for ($1.00-$2.00)USD. Adjusted for inflation what cost $1.50 in 1900 would cost $33.23 in 2005.
