Monogrammed Coffee Table
This coffee table, in walnut and maple, is carved with a customized monogram. The example in the photographs features the Chinese character for "family" or "home," but the carving could also be an initial or set of initials, or another meaningful design from a wide range of cultures. Proceeds benefit the non-profit Endangered Alphabets Project, dedicated to preserving minority cultures worldwide.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
Since 2009 I have been carving pieces of text in endangered alphabets as a way to preserve them and draw attention to their plight.
My work has been featured all over North American, including the Smithsonian Institution.
In order to support this non-profit work (and because I love carving) I do a steady stream of custom carvings, sometimes in these beautiful, exotic scripts, sometimes in English, sometimes as stand-alone artwork, sometimes as carved inscriptions in items of furniture to make the piece unique and more meaningful to the client.
