Peace Sign

This peace sign is cut from red oak and finished with polyurethane. I include ribbon to hang in a window, and self-adhesive feet so this use as a wooden trivet.

    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.

I also make ceremonial canes used by some student groups to signal their membership in particular groups. These groups are not disclosed, and I thank them for their patronage.

    Absolutely stunning craftsmanship and intricate knowledge of the materials and process. Could not have better bang for my buck. Carl was professional, very open and honest communication, and made me feel like a valued customer. Would absolutely work with him again.

    I’m incredibly satisfied with the way my project turned out. This has me eager to celebrate the holidays. And it will be a beautiful tradition that will last for generations. The craftsmanship is amazing. Carl went out of his way to make sure the product was exactly the way I wanted it.

    Carl 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.
