This design is a modification of my standard Seder plate design. The background has been styled with an engraved paisley pattern. The pattern is subtle, so as not to class with the wood grain. This is about 15 1/2" diameter, and is made of Ash hardwood. I applied a cherry gen stain to accentuate the edges, especially of the paisley engraving. I make variations on this in two sizes, one is about 11" diameter, the larger is about 15 1/2" diameter. The price depends on the wood used and the size.

For Grace's CaneCarl was great! Super communicative, understanding, and excellent craftsmanship! He personally delivered the order to me (driving 2-3 hours to do so), which was super appreciated.
Sue Reeves
For Custom VirgeMy working with Carl to create a Virge for use at church was a very easy process. He kept me informed, asked questions where he needed clarification, and sent photos as he completed portions of the project. I would definitely use his skills again if I needed another project done.

For Evan's Engagement Ring BoxCarl went above and beyond with my engagement ring box. He was willing to go back and forth on design revisions as many times as it took to make everything perfectly. He always communicated promptly and was timely with the delivery. The craftsmanship of his woodwork is truly professional and you'll be glad you chose him for your project!

Very good and clear communication. Workmanship looks solid, quick to make, quick to deliver, and the packaging was superb. Very very good experience with this maker.
Jodi Bruss Sherman
For Jodi's Wooden SignI am so pleased with the custom tray I received from Carvings by Carl. First, no one wanted my custom project. I reached out for months to woodworkers with no response--except for Carl. Before accepting the project, Carl took time to understand what I was looking. After that, Carl communicated with me regularly re: cost, dimensions, and materials. He also provided photos before he shipped anything. Not satisfied with generic shipping containers for this custom-size project, Carl built a custom-size crate [which is also so nice that I'm going to upcycle it] so the tray wouldn't be damaged in transit. The final result is a gorgeous cherry-framed tray that fits perfectly over the opening of an old interior foyer planter tucked within two crooked walls and a crooked staircase. Carl made sure that the bottom of the tray is sturdy enough to hold the rock garden I am putting into it, and also suggested a shadow line that enhances the dimensionality of the finished piece in its space. Carl is an engineer and his attention to precise detail really shows. I am so glad I found Carl. A custom woodworking project, done from a distance, requires communication and trust. The finished piece demonstrates that Carl is an artisan, excellent communicator, and someone you can trust with your project.

For Kristin's SignThis is the first time using custommade. Carl reached out as an interested maker and gave some great suggestions on my project request. He gave me idea's I hadn't even thought of. He was timely in his communication, even letting me know when he would not be available. He kept me informed at every step of the project,. The finished product was better than I imagined and my husband loved his gift. I highly recommend Carvings by Carl.
