Sky View
We have a sign approximately 1"-3" x 6" x 48". The script SKYVIEW is 4"in height The sign will be Single sided HONDURAS MAHOGANY. I used 23 xx Gold Leaf on the script & OAK CLUSTER ends and the entire trim on the sign. OAK CLUSTER will be a full 5" in height and will be carved in the to have a full rounded appearance. The sign will be sealed and then finished with 5-6 coats of Interlux Brightside. I installed brass keyhole slots for installation. I supplyed a paper pattern to assist in installation along with stainless screws.

I was created June 22, 1950 in Moon Run, Pennsylvania. BA in Art education from Carlow University in 1974. After college I joined two highly selective art associations in Pittsburgh, Associated Artist of Pittsburgh, and Pittsburgh Society of Artists. Married Francesca A. Hoffman 1976. I worked at Carnegie Mellon University from 1978 – 1991 and I used my art talents to restore the unique art and architecture at the University. My last project at the University was restoring the George Nakashima collection in Warner Hall. Also during this time in 1986 I received a Master’s degree from Carnegie Mellon in Business and Public Management, and Labor Relations in 87.
The handcarved heirlooms that I create are rich in history, detail and design. The deep, deliberate curves and lines left by the chisels are a statement to the quality and craftsmanship that go into each piece carved. Each piece is a collaboration between my patron and myself as we progress on the journey for each project.
