Harold Weaver lived alone in a small home outside of Halifax.
For several years he had on occasion produced small carvings which he used to decorate the railings around the veranda of his home. He was discovered by folk art collector Chris Wilcox and although he agreed to sell a few pieces to Chris after several visits, most of his work did not become available until after his death in the late 1990s.
It is estimated that he carved fewer than fifty pieces in total. His work, which is very distinctive, is virtually unknown other than to a small number of collectors in Nova Scotia.
