Helping Hand, Oak Burl Sculpture
This piece is carved from an Appalachian Oak Burl with bark inclusions. I was speaking with a friend about maybe lending a hand in the shop from time to time. He, being the helpful and insightful person that he is, suggested that I carve one out. I did just that. This is and example of sarcasm taken literally. After completing the carving, my friend stopped by again. He saw the hand and said " I see that you took my advice. It has been about as helpful as I would have been anyway." This piece is available and will be shipped immediately after receipt of cleared payment. Dimensions - 12" long x 9.5" wide x 3.25" high

Thank you for visiting Appalachian Moon Woodworks at CustomMade. My shop is nestled in the heart of the lush and beautiful Greenbrier Valley of West Virginia. I am the owner, operator, engineer, artist and craftsman for Appalachian Moon Woodworks. I have a small crew of experienced, knowledgeable craftsman that can accompany me on larger jobs. I specialize in unique, custom, hand-made, heirloom furnishings, reproductions, case work, architectural implementations and sculpture. I collaborate with architects, interior designers, contractors and home owners, to make dreams and concepts a reality. Most all of the woods used in my creations are indigenous to, and harvested from, the majestic Appalachian Mountains. These are of the most desirable hardwoods in the world. Any woods or materials requested can be made available though. I strive to achieve a standard of quality, attention to detail, honesty of design and customer service that makes first time clients, lifetime clients. Please come back regularly as I will update this gallery frequently. I believe that the items that you place in your home should do more than just function. They should contribute to the natural flow of your environment and be an extension of your personality. Enjoy your space and live well.

For German Wood Throne.1.3I had to cancel this project after multiple delays (not days or weeks but months) from the maker. I was willing to accept some delays, but the maker did communicate prior to missing deadlines and was not making significant process. Getting a refund was painful, and I had to contact CustomMade to act as an intermediary before the maker agreed to refund my deposit. Overall very dissatisfied with the whole process.

For Small base for sculpture by Oct 28th.5.0Working with Nycoma was a pleasure! He is extremely knowledgeable, an excellent crafts person and handles and operates his business as a true professional. I would not only work with him again but will also be recommending him to anyone else I know who is looking for an amazing woodworker!
