Joshua Sargent is one of those men that God has made, molded, and carved in the mountains of New Hampshire. Part of that molding was making Josh into an accomplished sportsman. Josh has run successful trap lines for years where he has trapped coyotes, fox, beavers, mink, otters, raccoons, and fisher. As a hunter, Josh has been successful in taking white tail deer, black bears, moose, and caribou. These animals have been taken with his black powder musket, “Cold Souls” rifle, and his self-made recurve bow. |

Josh’s trade is an artist of wood. He is an accomplished woodcarver with his chainsaw, hand tools, and lathe. He owns and runs his own carving shop on route 16 in Albany, New Hampshire, where he goes by the name North Country Whittler. If you are ever in the White Mountains, make sure to stop by the shop. It is quickly identifiable — just look for the carving of an American Indian figure that towers forty feet over his shop. Many wooden animal images can be seen within his shop along with one-of-a-kind wooden furniture. Bears are his specialty, and he has demonstrated that he has taken chainsaw art to another level; American Indian busts are intricately detailed with his hand tools; and his beautiful Brownfield Bog burl bowls are crafted with his lathe. He has a sawmill, and cuts wide, customs live edge, thick pine bar tops and counter tops. Custom or commissioned carved pieces are also considered. |
