The Rosewood Table is Luxury fine Art, high-end furniture, hand carved in the world's most precious exotic hardwoods. Finished in early January of 1995, the Rosewood table is one of a kind. There was no specific period in mind when I created the design; however, I did want it to have a certain old world flavor. This is my interpretation of centuries gone by. Its beauty and its art are glamorized in the Rosewood Table, along with the Sculptured Chair and the Rosewood Lamp. rnrnThe Rosewood Table is so named for obvious reasons. The ring, the decorative supports reaching down to the base plate and the feet are hand carved in Indonesian Rosewood. The lavishly decorated Madagascar rosewood table surface is inlaid with 12 different kinds of hardwoods. Purple Heart, a beautiful burgundy hardwood was carved to create the rose, the leaves scattered across the surface of the table, and the skirt, which drapes over the feet. rnrnThis oval Rosewood table, took nearly 1600 hours to complete, is 40 inches long, 18 inches wide and 34 inches high.

We've carved many roses over the years, including Rose bouquet's. Some of our roses are designed with a concealed pocket to place an anniversary ring or engagement ring in.
These bouquets include:
long stemmed 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and one dozen roses.
All of our roses are original and one-of-a-kind. These roses are carved freehand without a pattern, and strictly from the imagination. Starting from a solid block of wood, minute by minute, hour by hour small bits of wood are carved away and slowly a rose begins to come into focus. As each day passes it becomes more refined until finally the finish sanding is complete and the rose is fully blossomed into a flower of great beauty and satisfaction. A great part of the satisfaction is bringing pleasure to other peoples lives as they examine all the intricate detail involved in a single rose.
