I carved this quarter rest out of solid silver maple. The color is similar to a honey oak tone. This wood was chainsawn out of a large slab, shaped on a bandsaw then carved with various carving tools including a carving head I have for an auto body angle grinder. It was sanded and sanded with successfully finer grades of sandpaper and finished with multiple coats of polyurethane and wax. It stands about 40 inches tall including the base, which is a carved piece of thick pine which I stained with an ebony stain. I will ship overseas please contact me for shipping cost to your country.

I have been doing sculpture in different media for around 20 years and focusing more on woodwork lately. My specialty is carved wood furniture, ceramic flowers and now I'm starting to make some unique lighting fixtures/chandeliers.
I have a bachelor's degree in Business and am widely traveled, and have lived overseas in many countries so I have seen many different forms of artwork worldwide.
I was previously known as an electronics technician so I am beginning to add lighting to some of my projects. I am attempting to create a niche with custom music stands and carved end tables. I am skilled at cabinetmaking but prefer to make sculptural furniture, things with curves are much easier for me to make somehow. A few of the artists and woodworkers I consider to be strong influences in my life include Sam Maloof, Wendell Castle and Isamu Noguchi.
