The customer wants a cane with some bling to take along to the comic convention to add to his Riddler collection/wardrobe, of Batman and Robbin origin. using oak for the shaft, maple for the top, transparent acrylic round thin shaft to create the question mark at the top which I water gilded in 23 karat gold leaf. The raised lettering also gilded is carved from the shaft, not merely stuck on. So, I have created one more intoxicatingly beautiful object to adorn the world with, Ralph Mitchell
A Maker who has been a valued part of this community for several years.
Customers say that this Maker ships promptly after completing a project.
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 Magdan's Magic Wand - Birch, Stag horn handleI 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.

For Julie's totem poleI asked to have a totem pole designed like a drawing I had. The totem pole arrived and it was EXACTLY like the drawing. It was a great job and the seller was communicative throughout the whole process. I would absolutely use the seller again.
