About Jude Fritts

See Jude's Resume in Photos...

Jude Fritts is a woodcarving artist with twenty five years of experience working in a wide variety of styles and woods. Jude's custom carving includes carved doors and panels, wall art, carved ornament, and sculpture. Jude has designed and carved large scale pipe shade carvings for organs built by Paul Fritts & Company Organ Builders, Charles M. Ruggles Pipe Organs, Rosales Pipe Organ Services and Schlicker Organ Co. She is currently working on carvings for the new pipe organ at St. Philip Presbyterian Church in Houston, TX, which will be delivered January 2010.

Jude has created designs ranging from renaissance to contemporary and has worked in oak, Douglas fir, cherry, Honduran mahogany, western red cedar and basswood. Individual works vary in size from 5 to 65 panels totaling 12 to 250 square feet of carving. Carvings for an organ typically take a year to complete. Large organs, like The Gottfried and Mary Fuchs Organ for Pacific Lutheran University, have taken more than two years. Small organs may require only three months.
