Mammoth Ivory Cross Necklace
Hand carved cross made from 10,000 year old Woolly Mammoth ivory from Siberia. Each cross is unique as the ivory changes color depending on the minerals in the surrounding soil may color the ivory. The cross is 1.5 inches by 1 inch by 0.25 inches.

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.

Mar 23, 2013Michael is great to work with! He made me some marble coasters for my roommates and me. He was quick and the quality was great; he even made a sample and photographed it before making the rest. I asked him to make a change before proceeding, and it wasn't a problem at all. I'm super happy with my coasters and my experience working with Michael!

Jul 19, 2013There weren't enough stars to properly reflect this experience - Michael was a remarkable professional through this whole project. I had my thoughts and ideas, but he really grasped what I envisioned (even better, in fact). He took great care through the whole process to update me on the progress and ask my opinion about everything, and obviously took his time and put great care into the details of this cane. A man of integrity, patience and professionalism, I'd be thrilled to work with him again in the future or recommend him to anyone for their Custom Made projects!

Dec 17, 2015We bought a second walking stick for another grandfather (my Popa) and he absolutely loves it! Perfect height & name carvings are beautiful :) He is so excited to bring it to church & show off to all of his friends! Thank you so much for creating the best Christmas gift for him! Cheers!

Nov 12, 2014We ordered several canes and everyone was happy with them. It was great to work with Michael. If I ever need more canes, I know who to come to.
