We enjoyed working with our client, Rebekah, in designing exactly what she wanted. This Inspirational Wall Art, with the full text of Micah 6:8, takes center stage as a custom carved Wall Art of noteworthy proportions ~ 34 wide x 24″ high.
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

Our client is building a custom home and is installing wainscoting throughout. We were commissioned to create custom wainscot panels to wrap some corner columns within the home. Wainscoting adds a striking touch to any home.
Below is an image of one of the corners which is to be wrapped with Knotty Alder panels.
Because of the embellishments which were to be carved and routed into these wainscot panels, I chose glue joints which would provide more surface area for glue than the usual butt/biscuit joint. These joints also eliminate the possibility of exposed biscuits after carving and routing.
This glue joint profile was used to create the panels.
This lock miter joint profile was used to create the corners which were to receive a routed cove detail.
Each panel (various sizes) was created to our client’s dimensions.
In keeping with his mountain & wildlife theme, our client chose to embellish each panel with this deer relief.
I look forward to helping you with your custom woodworking needs.

Sometimes customizing a piece simply means taking something which we already make and making it your own. Our client liked our There’s No Place Like Home Wall Art . . . with a slight twist . . . There’s No Place Like New York.
This custom piece was ordered in a reduced size of 16″ x 7″ to accommodate a smaller space. The detail is still striking at these dimensions.

We enjoy custom projects and this custom carved oval Serving Tray was a delight to create. Our client, Laura, was a pleasure to work with and we really enjoyed seeing her delighted expression when she saw her completed Serving Tray.

We were contacted to create a very special Christmas gift. Our client commissioned us to create a custom made, heirloom-quality, Diplomacy gameboard. This was a delightful project and it was a pleasure to work with Stacey.
All the components were milled from solid cherry hardwood.
Our client chose to have handcrafted stained playing pieces included with the gameboard.
Our daughter created two satin-lined velvet drawstring pouches for the playing pieces.
Our client secured rights to reproduce the gameboard image. The digitally reproduced gameboard image is protected under glass.
We carved our client’s personal inscription (under pouches) within one section of the interior.
The finished outer dimensions of this custom Diplomacy gameboard are 38.625″ long x 28.875″ wide x 3.75″ tall.
The design of this gameboard included enclosed storage for game pieces, note pads, etc.
Also included into the design were finger-holes which facilitate the removal of the playing surface in order to access the storage compartment.
Do you have a custom project in mind? We’d love to help.

This is a favorite – This piece was a surprise gift from a loving wife to her dear husband for their Wedding Anniversary. The text on this Wall Art is rooted in one of our favorite ministries – Highlands Ministries.
Highlands Ministries exists to help Christians
live more simple, separate, and deliberate lives
to the glory of God and for the building of His kingdom.
We enjoyed being part of such a lovely Anniversary gift and making new friends along the way.
