Bean Around The World

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I recently installed these three signs for my favorite coffee company “Bean Around The World”. These folks make the best java and do it the most ethical way.  For more insight into what they do and where they are located just go to their website at www.cowboycoffee.ca

Lake Breeze Winery

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
These barrels  are more examples of the group of five that were carved for the well known Lake Breeze Winery in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia. The barrel on the left shows the view as seen fron the top of the property and the barrel on the right hangs on the “Artist’s View” cottage located on [...]

Grape Rosette

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This is a very popular design. The grape rosette takes quite a bit of work due to the detail in the design however the result is very appealing. I’ve made a few of these with each one being a little unique so the client has a carving done specifically for them.

Casa Datai

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
After the big “blow down” storm we had in town a few years ago I was contracted to carve this 8′ cedar log.  Mother nature came close to taking out the clients’ house when this giant toppled over. Rather than buck it up it for fire wood it was thought to be better karma to carve [...]

Akibino Sushi & Armando’s

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Here are a couple of samples of  smaller signs. I love creating these pieces for the smaller stores. These signs usually range within the three square feet size and are quite often double sided. I’m happy to say I have  great success with these clients culminating some long lasting friendships.

The Cooper Clan Barrel

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
What a thrill it was to get a call from members of the “Cooper” clan. It was an honor to carve their crest into a barrel. This was one of the few full size barrel requests since most clients prefer to hang a barrel “end” on a wall or wine cellar door. However, this piece [...]
