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 the view from the front of the house into the log. The house, called “Casa Datai” ( Malaysian) sits on the waterfront and is one of the most charming and comfortable houses in the area and this carving now adorn a beautiful little landscaped garden at the entrance.

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.

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.

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.

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.
