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.
