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.

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.
Evan Reca
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!
