In 1996,without any education or formal training in art,  Charles Taube created three-dimensionally his first hardwood sculpture. He gave it away as a Trophy for "Southwest Woodies"  Annual Desert Gathering  Woodie Car Show and his artistic life began to soar! On August 28, 1997 at 6:00AM, Charles suffered a serious accident on the job that came very close to severing his left hand! But Charles was determined to create a second sculpture.Two months later just to prove to himself that he could regain any part of his life back, with only his right hand he cut, laminated, shaped and polished the second, third and fourth of his contemporary free-flowing hardwood sculptures. The style of the "fourth sculpture" that he created is what his sculptures have now become.
