Young Native American Archer Wall Art Wood Carving
A decorative wall art plaque, 22"x 18"x 2" in cherry wood. My own style and composition. Available for immediate shipment. This is one of a kind, there are no others. Carved on one side. My thought as I was designing and making this was that in the classical periods of those two great "Meccas" of art, Greece and Rome, the Gods, Goddesses and human figures were shown in the physical condition at the prime of life, not as wizened old men and women as native Americans are far too often represented in carved/ sculpted art. So, my rendering is in the manner of ancient Greece and Rome, showing the subject in the prime of life. Again, my rebellion against the too frequent mainstream manner of portraying the Native Americans.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
Working alone, I state working alone because nearly everything that I design and make are works of art made by me alone and signed by me for 20+ years, Ralph produces furnishings and signs rebelling against "mechanical mediocrity" refusing to work within the limitations imposed by machines and produce objets d'art which can only be accomplished with many hours/days/weeks/months of hand tooling.
To summarize, I am an artisan, not merely a furniture maker. Thank you for your interest in my fascination.

For cane4.3The final result was awesome. Ralph took the time to work with me despite all the things he had going on. The project took a little longer than I thought because I was in a time crunch, but if you have time, Ralph is definitely the guy. Always professional and willing to take on a project.

For Fantasy dragons & faries2.3Ralph is very responsive but I'm not happy with my cane because he did not finish it and it's sloppy. There is glue on the cane that wasn't cleaned up and the faces on my fairies aren't finished being carved out. The cane really doesn't look like an experienced person made it.

For Wooden Cane4.7I only had a vague idea of what I wanted and Ralph took what information I did provide and turned it into a beautiful work of art!

For Magdan's Magic Wand - Birch, Stag horn handle4.8I am extremely happy with my custom wand. The craftsmanship is top notch. Ralph took my design and put his own little twist on it, the result was a high quality work of art. Communication was also very pleasant and precise; Ralph and I managed to find a common ground which helped him create exactly the type of sculpture that fits my taste. I am also extremely happy with the price to quality ratio this maker offers. Recommendation.
