Custom Signage For 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.

Barrel Carving For 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.
