To create a carving for you involves meeting in your office or by phone, e-mail or mail. We will discuss a location for your work, its size, type of wood, style of carving and most importantly the image you want it to convey or the story it should tell. From these ideas I submit drawings for your approval, then we agree upon a price and create a brief contract.
Prices begin at a few thousand dollars into six figures depending on size and complexity of the work and your budget. Gift carvings for your special clients are also available.
I work on your carving exclusively during the process and you are welcome to come and observe. I only use the finest wood and hand tools to create your work.
If your mind and spirit are fed by the majesty and beauty of nature as mine are, we have a common bond. From our shared interests I can create your vision in wood.
About the Carving Process

About the Carver
Living in Kentucky surrounded by the natural beauty of the woods has inspired me to share my experience through fine wood carvings for over 48 years.
In 1982, I began carving full time, creating one of a kind custom woodcarvings for corporate and private collectors. Each original work of art portrays what is important to the collector, expressing a commitment to excellence, quality and attention to detail. I look forward to the opportunity to work one on one with you to create a memorable centerpiece for your home, office, lobby or boardroom.
