              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 [...]

Pacific Cuisine Inc.

              This sign is one of the many small signs I  made for trade shows and advertising. You may notice the real forks in this piece which will help you envision the actual size of the sign.

Peak home builders

                This sign was made for a client in Tokyo. The maple leaf is carved out of laminated red cedar to simulate house construction and attached to the circular “rising sun” backer also made from red cedar. The lettering was carved into the leaf.

Kambaseles

              Here is an example of a barrel top with mainly script carved in. Yes, this was hand tediously carved and not routed. The beautiful spigot was a nice touch that really set off the design. This piece now lives happily in New York city.

On The Go, Gelato

These recently finished sign was made for my friends at “On the go, Gelato”. They recently added a variety of amazing popcorn types and flavors to their menu. The gelato is also out of this world and in case you didn’t know..Gelato is a major food group.

The popcorn on the sign was carved out of sign foam and the rest of the sign was made from different woods hand crafted and laminated together.
