Divine inspiration

Kenneth Adams stands next to a collection of completed pieces, holding a carved Native American man with feathers and a handmade pipe from his collection of past works. He carves and turns many pieces of wooden art each month, ranging from projects that have lasted years to spontaneous projects that come to his mind on three-day weekends. ZACH TAYLOR/Staff
