Wood Carving: Forest Floor
This is a piece of Cypres that I carved a forest floor pattern along with leaves, sticks, and deer tracks. I then added in a few arrowheads scattered about. I love walking in the woods and finding treasure like this.

QuotableWalkingStick
I retired from the USAF after 28 years and now I make canes, walking sticks, jewelry and art pieces full time. The Quotable Walking Stick is a concept that I started. I find rare, unusual, and/or antique items to make into walking stick handles. Then I find an appropriate quote from literature, movies, music or elsewhere that I feel compliments the user.
Quotes have always been an important part of my life. It is comforting to know that others we admire think along the same lines as we do. I hope you will find one that speaks to you.

Oct 29, 2013Michael is amazing! He included me in the design and creation process from beginning to end, made sure I was happy, and made my ideas so much better than I could have ever imagined. He's responsive and very timely and, most importantly, he's a real artist who is totally committed to his work and to your satisfaction. The cane he carved for me is incredible. It is a stunningly beautiful piece that is priceless because it is so special and personally significant--he made that a reality. A great experience from beginning to end.

Apr 18, 2013Michael was wonderful to work with. He communicated regarding my project's design often, using pictures of samples he had created and updating me of his progress. He was able to be creatively design, as well as ensure that I was satisfied with the results. Not to mention, the quality was amazing! I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again in the future!
