Yinyang Of Peace
This is a design I made for a Quaker friend. Her version was black and "white", based on the traditional coloring for the Yinyang. This version is dyed red to reflect the Chinese color for luck and life. This is about 15" diameter, and is a single piece of yellow birch. The colorant is a custom-mixed dye. The piece is finished with polyurethane. The price of a similar piece depends on size and material.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I specialize in making special things you want, within the limits of my tools and abilities.
These fall into two categories, with some overlap.
I make wood carvings, cut from a single piece of select hardwood. I customize each design to customer needs. These designs are of a spiritual nature and embrace many traditions. These include custom Challah boards, Seder plates, Episcopal virges, Dartmouth canes, and engagement ring boxes.
I also do 3D printing, which is sometimes the right method to make something you want. I have also used 3D printing to make prototypes of more complex pieces, such as cane finials.
Much of what I make involves carving artwork into wood and filling the engraving with a thermoset resin, tinted with an intentional, contrasting color. The resin and the wood are polished and finished to enhance the grain and the literal depth of the color. This is a key part of the Challah boards and ring boxes.
