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.

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.

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

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

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

Windsor Meat Company

WINDSOR MEAT COMPANY

This sign was done for my favorite butcher shop. Organic buffalo steaks sizzling on the grill….well, what can I say except WOW!
The lettering is mounted on a red leather background giving the sign a classy upscale look. The color also lends itself to the fine meat products they sell. Go to www.windsormeats.com for the full story on their fine products.

As soon as I put these signs outside my shop for a quick picture I had company in the form a my cat. At least he works as a size reference for these two cedar signs which I later installed on the coffee shop wall.

Rosehill Wine Cellars

Here we are inside my shop. I’m currently working on this barrel for Rosehill Wine Cellars. This is the roughing in phase after which I will do a final consulting with the client to make sure we know exactly what kind of finish is to be done. This piece can be left natural or painted and all things in between. Stay tuned for the result.

Carved Wine Barrel Planters

IMG_1901

Here we can see Lynne, my other half and a brilliant artist, painting some wine barrel planter carvings I did for a local winery. These pieces get lots of great comments and definitely add some flair to their outside patio cafe.
You too can order custom carved wine barrel planters with your logo or any other designs you like.
Enhance and brand your company, restaurant, golf course, winery etc. with one of these unique and long lasting pieces.
