Aperiodic Planar Tilings
I make 3D-printed aperiodic tilings, mostly sold on Etsy in my shop https://CarvingsByCarl.etsy.com
I also make custom variations in size, color, and even custom tilings when asked. Maker-Marketplace is a better place to discuss your special needs.
I currently make two variations on the Penrose Dart and Kite tiling, Einstein tiles, and several variations on Spectre tiles.
I've made extra large tiles, flat tiles, special colors, experimental shapes, and what has been raised as a challenge.
If you need anything special, please talk to me. I never charge for talk and exploration, and I enjoy figuring out how to make whatever you require.
Please note that this listing does not offer anything specific for sale. This is an invitation to contact me.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I specialize in making special things you want, within the limits of my tools and abilities.
These fall into two categories, with some overlap.
I make wood carvings, cut from a single piece of select hardwood. I customize each design to customer needs. These designs are of a spiritual nature and embrace many traditions. These include custom Challah boards, Seder plates, Episcopal virges, Dartmouth canes, and engagement ring boxes.
I also do 3D printing, which is sometimes the right method to make something you want. I have also used 3D printing to make prototypes of more complex pieces, such as cane finials.
Much of what I make involves carving artwork into wood and filling the engraving with a thermoset resin, tinted with an intentional, contrasting color. The resin and the wood are polished and finished to enhance the grain and the literal depth of the color. This is a key part of the Challah boards and ring boxes.
I also make ceremonial canes used by some student groups to signal their membership in particular groups. These groups are not disclosed, and I thank them for their patronage.
