Ernest Sherrill – Woodcarver

Some artists work very quickly, almost as if they feel the urge to create will leave them if they don’t work fast. Others view creation as a way to relax, slow down and revive themselves a bit. Tennessee Crossroads met a Nashville woodcarver who definitely fits into the second group. Ernest Sherill uses his artistic ability to create beautiful works…but also to decompress from the stresses of the day. Watch this and more episode segments of Nashville Public Television’s Tennessee Crossroads.

Some artists work very quickly, almost as if they feel the urge to create will leave them if they don't work fast. Others view creation as a way to relax, slow down and revive themselves a bit. Rob Wilds recently met a Nashville woodcarver who definitely fits into the second group. Ernest Sherill uses his artistic ability to create beautiful works...but also to decompress from the stresses of the day.

Rob Wilds has been a part of the Tennessee Crossroads family since 1993. As one of our most frequent producers, and the recipient of several journalism awards throughout his various careers, Rob finds that the best reward for his work is meeting the fascinating people and visiting the interesting places he encounters in his travels. A presence in television, radio and print reporter for more than 20 years, Rob is a teacher, writer, producer and director as well as an actor (with appearances in feature films, television shows and on stage).
