Hampton artisan showcases woodwork, carvings

Tom Quick, of Hampton, showcases these wood cubes imbedded with small magnets, which demonstrate the science of magnetic force fields in this hand-carved wooden apparatus.

Hampton resident, Tom Quick, said he still uses an old-fashioned hand plane, to shave down the blocks of exotic wood he eventually shapes into functional pieces of art.

Some of those pieces, about three dozen of them, are on display at the Historic Hampton Museum, inside the Hampton Train Depot.
