Carvings by Carl
Your Vision, Carved into Reality
I don’t just make objects; I craft one-of-a-kind legacies. Whether it’s a sacred spiritual vessel or a symbol of lifelong achievement, I specialize in transforming select hardwoods into deeply personal treasures tailored to your story.
Master Artistry Meets Modern Precision
My work blends time-honored wood carving with cutting-edge technology to ensure your piece is nothing short of perfect:
Custom Spiritual & Ceremonial Art: From intricate Challah boards and Seder plates to Episcopal virges and engagement ring boxes, I embrace all traditions with reverence and detail.
The Resin-Inlay Process: For a striking, modern look, I can engrave artwork into the wood and fill it with vibrant, polished thermoset resins. The result is a stunning contrast that highlights both the natural grain and the literal depth of the color.
3D Prototyping: For complex designs like cane finials, I utilize 3D printing to create precise prototypes. This ensures the ergonomics and aesthetics are flawless before the first cut is made into the wood.
Academic & Secret Society Traditions: I am proud to produce ceremonial canes for prestigious college senior societies. I understand the importance of tradition and maintain the utmost discretion for these exclusive commissions.
Let’s Create Something Extraordinary
Every piece I create begins with a conversation. If you have an idea—no matter how unique—I am ready to help you realize it.

Mar 11, 2024My 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.
