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.

Your Vision, Carved into Reality
I don’t just make objects; I craft one-of-a-kind legacies. Whether it’s a sacred spiritual vessel or a symbol of lifelong achievement, I specialize in transforming select hardwoods into deeply personal treasures tailored to your story.
Master Artistry Meets Modern Precision
My work blends time-honored wood carving with cutting-edge technology to ensure your piece is nothing short of perfect:
Custom Spiritual & Ceremonial Art: From intricate Challah boards and Seder plates to Episcopal virges and engagement ring boxes, I embrace all traditions with reverence and detail.
The Resin-Inlay Process: For a striking, modern look, I can engrave artwork into the wood and fill it with vibrant, polished thermoset resins. The result is a stunning contrast that highlights both the natural grain and the literal depth of the color.
3D Prototyping: For complex designs like cane finials, I utilize 3D printing to create precise prototypes. This ensures the ergonomics and aesthetics are flawless before the first cut is made into the wood.
Academic & Secret Society Traditions: I am proud to produce ceremonial canes for prestigious college senior societies. I understand the importance of tradition and maintain the utmost discretion for these exclusive commissions.
Let’s Create Something Extraordinary
Every piece I create begins with a conversation. If you have an idea—no matter how unique—I am ready to help you realize it.
