Great service
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 Board5.0Beautiful cheese board. It is well crafted and looks spectacular. Used it for the first time last night and would love to share the picture we took of a lovely cheese course. Darin was always in communication with me and make sure every step was to my liking. When I took a wrong turn because I had no clue what I was looking for him to create he nicely steered me in the right direction. This was an anniversary gift for 29 years of marriage which is furniture. A cheese board for wonderful nights of cheese and wine seemed appropriate and Darin did a great job.

For Walnut Wood Charcuterie, Cheese, Bread, Serving Or Cutting Board5.0Let me start off by saying thank you to the artist, Darin White. His persona made this whole experience very positive and when I received the final product I was blown away. I purchased a custom made live edge cherry wood serving board to give as a Christmas gift, and before I even could wrap the gift my friends and roommates kept asking questions.
The amount of interest I have received from my peers shows that I made the right selection by choosing to work with Darin. The project was done ahead of schedule, the artist was able to communicate with me throughout the entire process, and really taught me about the art of his craft. As I said earlier, I was blown away by the final product. This board has rich colors, smooth texture, and is evenly balanced. I literally cannot stop smiling when thinking about the board. Darin deserves these 5 stars, but more importantly your business. You will not be disappointed with his work.
Thanks again Darin, I look forward to working with you again.
