Bronze Cast Or Metal Fabricated Candlestick Holders Or Home Decor
We can custom design and fabricate from start to finish cast bronze candlestick holders or other home decor items. To make these in a one off situation is not an inexpensive project, but when you need a special gift or design, something that is not unique and personal just won't work! I am trained in metal fabrication and bronze casting, and we can work with a number of different materials and processes. Let me know what you need! This project was for a replication for a book cover. We 3D rendered from a concept image, 3D printed the pieces and then molded and cast them in bronze. Finally, we had one of our team artists hand engrave the word, FAITH in Hebrew. To read the book, you can find it online, Loaded Blessings by Faith Quintero.

This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
As an artist, I found my love of objects at an early age. I was always drawing diagrams on napkins and discussing how things were made, like my father and grandfather. They owned and operated a display manufacturing business, so I was around design and material process from the beginning. My entrepreneurial career began around the age of seven, when I asked my dad to help me cut out some wood shapes on a small jigsaw, added color and sold them on the driveway. i was hooked.
After a year playing college football and throwing javelin in Indiana, I honed my art skills especially metal fabrication and casting finishing with a BFA in sculpture at the University of Kansas. During art school my brother Brian and I designed and made alternative clothing for the skate crowd. My wife and I began selling visual merchandising products to retailers, eventually garnering major clients all over the world. We also started HAVA studios to collaborate on creative projects which led to unique and very high end work. Many times I was providing the design and project management and not having the time to work on the making. I have had to carve out time to make art and also collaborated with my wife on award winning public art.
A few years ago, after chain saw carving a large 8' sculpture out of a huge spalted maple log. The wood cut away was so beautiful, so I carved my wife small piece and hung it on a silver chain. She received many comments and requests about the "wearable sculpture" pendant and I started making them for family and friends, and eventually galleries. Because splating is a natural process; like a finger print, there are no two alike. I expanded the hand carvings to earrings and rings, and then started making other objects including small freestanding sculptures and charcuterie/cheese serving boards, while filling custom requests for furniture and lighting as well as interior design.
My work is driven by my love of shape and form. I tend to be minimal in design. I work with whatever material is the best for the project but have an affinity for wood and metal. I also work in stone, acrylic, glass, resin, foam, and many other unique materials. I take commissions while also producing my original designs. My fine artwork is available upon request.

For Walnut Wood Charcuterie, Cheese, Bread, Serving Or Cutting Board5.0I curated Darin to create a piece for an employee who recently purchased their dream home. Darin's communication, attention to detail and professionalism is second to none. Thank you for an excellent piece that my employee will enjoy for many years.

For Live Edge Walnut Cutting Board And Serving Boards. Limited Inventory! Please See Other Listings.4.8Darin was fantastic to work with. He gave us many options to choose from, he was excellent at communication, and the end product was exactly what we were looking for. Darin is a true artist and was able to mold a piece of wood into a gorgeous charcuterie board that served as the center piece for our 50th birthday party. Everyone loved the piece. I highly recommend using Darin for any wood-working,

For Walnut Wood Charcuterie, Cheese, Bread, Serving Or Cutting Board5.0I was desperately searching for a specific charcuterie board for a family weekend when I came across Darin’s website. While he had a few finished boards available, I wanted a little different shape. I asked Darin if he could create a board for me and have it shipped to arrive within 10 days. A bit unreasonable, yes! But Darin was so willing to work with me to create a board for my event. He sent me pictures of different woods and we finally settled on a red wood elm with a bark edge. Not only did it arrive on time but it was early. It was perfect. Just beautiful. I have received so many compliments from my friends and family. I keep it out in the kitchen as decor because it is a unique piece of art that cannot be kept in a cabinet. Darin was so wonderful to work with. He was professional, great with communication and so kind to work with me under such a crazy timeline. I highly recommend Darin and would buy from him again.

For Walnut Wood Charcuterie, Cheese, Bread, Serving Or Cutting Board5.0I decided at last minute to find an unusual wood piece for my daughter for Christmas. I stumbled on the Marketplace site and saw Darrin’s charcuterie board. He responded right away and we communicated back and forth about the board, wood, color, shape and size. I received the board yesterday and it is beautiful! A piece of art my daughter will love. She collects cutting boards! I would purchase from Darrin again and recommend his work. I did receive before Christmas too!
