Organic Design Handcrafted Martial Art Sword Display
While designing custom sword stand for a client I realized that most of the displays out there are designed solely for function with little regard for the art that it displays. A martial art sword is a weapon used in an art that demands grace and flow of energy and with that in mind, this is one of the designs I developed. It is handcrafted from black walnut and cherry with a gloss lacquer finish to protect as well as enhance the colors. The long graceful stalks are hand-carved from black walnut and then sanded to a smooth finish. The tops were carved and shaped from aged cherry to resemble leaves. The two bowls are turned from solid cherry with the insides finished black with a technique that allows the finish to roll over the top edge creating an organic feel. Then everything sits on a solid piece of distressed cherry. Note: This listing is for the item pictured. Swords not included.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
At MOSS Farm Designs all of our custom projects are crafted to your specifications. I can take your idea, and create a design with your needs and wants in mind and then turn that idea into a finished project that you and your family can enjoy for years to come.
I use mostly native hardwoods from locally harvested trees that where felled due to storm damage or removed to make way for construction projects as well as salvaged wood from local barns and buildings.
My shop is located right here on the farm in Stanley, NC. I take great pride in every project I work on and would welcome the opportunity to create something for you.

For Custom Wood Bath Vanity With Reclaimed Sink5.0After trying for two years to find a vanity that would fit with a 17" depth but still allow for a modern yet transitional look with storage was something I didn't think was possible. Michael's custom design met every aspect of this project and his offered suggestions verified his talent as well as his craftsmanship. I have already commissioned my next piece with him and working on a design for my new office desk after that one.
