Wave #21 Wood Sculpture
The Wave #21 Brazilian Cherry wood sculpture is a three dimensional sculpture and can be viewed from either side. The wood is approximately 1/8" thick and the overall thickness of the structure is approximately 1". When you study this structure it is easy to imagine that the wood is flexible, like a piece of clay, and the sculpture was created by folding and creasing this thin piece of clay. In addition to the actual shape of the structure, the natural color and grain pattern of the wood adds an extra dimension to the structure. The sculpture is free standing and can easily be displayed on a shelf, desk or table. The wood structure is finished with a hand rubbed coat of wax to preserve the natural beauty of the wood. This two sided Brazilian Cherry wood structure is approximately 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" x 1". The wall thickness is approximately 1/8"

I have always been interested in the nature of wood; its feel and aroma. I find that nothing is more pleasant than the smell of freshly cut wood. I started my career as an engineer. At that time I bought my first table saw and I have been involved in woodworking ever since. The mathematical and engineering knowledge I gained early in my career I apply to my woodworking designs. I started my career in woodworking designing and building of traditional furniture. After making custom furniture for many years my interests have expanded to include designing and creating unique handcrafted wooden boxes, sculptures and wall art. I create each piece myself without any assistants. I feel the most important aspects of my work are the actual design process and the natural beauty of the wood used to construct the piece. The tools I use range from traditional hand tools to advanced power tools.
In my current work, I often combine the natural flowing curves that are found in nature with geometric patterns. The contrast created between the natural flowing curves and the geometric patterns creates an object that quickly capture’s your eye’s attention. In a recent wooden box I designed, I combined the classic checker board pattern with smooth flowing curves. As you look at the box, your eyes are first attracted to the strong contrast between the maple and black walnut squares, but this contrast is quickly balanced by the flowing curves of the piece. The boxes I design are suitable for use as engagement ring boxes, keepsake boxes, or simply a wooden box to be displayed because of its inherent beauty and uniqueness.
My wave sculptures are another example of an object I have designed and created that captures the wave motion so often found in nature. The wood used in creating each sculpture is hand chosen for its color and grain. Each wave sculpture is unique and is dated and signed.
The wall art pieces I design also capture various aspects of nature, such as, sea life and also mathematical geometric patterns.
Most of my pieces are available for immediate delivery. I am also open to discuss new projects that meet your personal requirements. Pieces can also be redesigned using different woods of your choice or in a size that will meet your needs

For Diatom #1 Wooden Box5.0Roger is a true craftsman. He was easy to work with and was able to a complete the project in a timely manner. He created a truly beautiful piece from a picture and it exceeded my expectations. I would definitely have Roger do any custom woodworking I may need in the future and highly recommend him for your custom made project. You will not be disappointed.

For mark's Sign5.0Roger was excellent to work with on this project. My project was small but Roger gave it great attention. He communicated clearly about price, time and materials, and offered some very valuable design ideas. Project was completed and shipped quicker than I thought and I am extremely pleased with the signs carved and painted so beautifully.
