A couple of new pieces from Gathering Wood had to be put on hold as we moved our family and woodshop from California to Kentucky. One particular piece, There’s No Place Like Home, will soon be released in your choice of a routed edge profile or as a framed Wall Art.
We hope to have this new piece up on our website very soon.
Let us know if you are interested beforehand ~ We have a few in stock.

Our client spent a considerable amount of time completing this piece of needlework. She requested that we incorporate the finished piece into a practicable Serving Tray and have the needlework protected under glass.
This project was completely custom. The Serving Tray frame profile was milled to allow for 1/4″ glass, the professionally mounted needlepoint, and a Cherry back-piece ~ all retained by a removable stop. The removable stop will allow for access, if necessary, in the future.
What can we do for you?

We were recently commissioned for a special project by a dear family in Texas.
Originally written on tables of stone, these pieces were recreated in cherry hardwood.
What can we do for you? Contact us about your custom project.
We knew that our recent move to Kentucky would spur us on to create the Equine Art long on our minds. We have two new pieces currently on display at South Hill Gallery in Lexington. Drop by and see the talented people at South Hill Gallery . . . and pick up your new Custom Carved Wooden Oval Serving Tray or Equine Wall Art.
If you are not in the Lexington area, give us a call and we will help you design a new piece for you or your favorite horse lover.

This piece is to be incorporated into a mantel in a custom home being built in Lake Isabella, California. We worked with our client in designing this relief to his specifications and he is thrilled.
Below is a picture of the piece during the “roughing” pass . . . the beginning of a 10 1/2 hour process.
This relief measures 65 1/2″ long by 11 1/2″ high.
I used a 1/8″ ball nosed cutter to obtain the most detail.
What can I do for you?
