Here is the 23 karat gold leafed walking cane with moonstones and goldstones that i designed and made for a customer December 2017.
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 Emperor Paplatine Cane 2015Ralph was not only very professional, but extremely friendly as he kept in constant contact with me during the project. I just received my order today, and I am thrilled with the finished product. It was even better than I expected. Thank you very much Ralph. I will show it off proudly.

For Cara's SculptureI worked with Ralph on creating 2 sculptures. He provided frequent updates and was consistent with any questions that he had regarding my preferences with the pieces. The finished product was absolutely beautiful, completed on time and packed so that it arrived in one piece! I was proud to display the sculptures at my organization's event. I'm positive that I made the correct decision in selecting Ralph for my project.
Ralph proved to be a true artist. His professionalism, creativity, expertise and talent were greatly appreciated. I will definitely contact him again when I need some additional sculptures created.
