"Digital and traditional design and woodworking"

I've been a woodworker since I was a kid in my dad's shop. Over the years I have built many items of furniture and cabinets for myself and family members, adding to my skills and suite of tools to enable me to do more intricate and complex projects. I added a CNC router to my tools a while back, which has enabled me to expand my shop's capabilities. In fact, I have won my CNC manufacturer's nationwide contest for woodworking two years in a row.

About five years ago, I opened carveshop.com and started taking on specialty projects. I really enjoy making custom and personalized items, and taking on new and exciting projects that challenge me and expand my skills.

I would love to make something unique and special for you.

    I had a custom chocolate box made that is similar to the one in the movie Matilda. It's even more beautiful than what I expected!!! Dick did an amazing job, communicated the entire time, I am beyond happy with the box. He packaged it extremely well as I had it shipped to my address in Florida and then on to the Bahamas. The workman ship is stunning. I could not recommend him more! 10 out of 10.

    I was able to easily communicate my ideas for customization and received the box exactly as I requested in a very quick turnaround. It was much larger than I expected (my own error as I never actually looked at the size or asked) but in a good way, it is very substantial and super cool, not to mention very beautiful. I asked to have it unfinished and although I'll likely end up playing around with different finishes, I am tempted to leave it unfinished because the black walnut is so pretty. This is something so unique and specially crafted that I can pass it down to my kids and they can do the same; I've never had a piece of furniture or item like that before, so it is extra special. Thank you!

    I am thrilled with this gift for my daughter. She has loved Matilda since she was a little girl. The communication was timely and the box was completed faster than expected. I can’t wait to give this gift to my daughter! Even if she is turning 30, this is a beautiful gift.

    If only all men could communicate with such precision! He did what he said he was going to do, when he said he was going to do it, in the way in which he was supposed to get it done! Perfectionist! I am over the moon with this product And know that the gift will be as well received as it was made. Thank you! Yes you pay for it, but you get what you pay for, and I have no problem with that because it was done right. Beautifully done, every step of the way. So much love and attention to detail. Much appreciation, Tasia

    Dick was very responsive and incredibly fast with this order! The box is as beautiful as I had hoped it would be. The shape is so elegant, and the finish and carvings are beautiful. I would likely order this box in a smaller size if I had it to do over, simply because I don't know how I am going to fill this up with chocolate!

    Absolutely love it!! This was an intended as an engagement gift, and my now fiancé absolutely loves it! Dick was pleasurable to work with, he really made sure that the chocolate box was exactly what I was looking for. Very fast service and shipping would definitely work with him on other custom made projects.

    The Matilda chocolate box came out even better then the pictures show. It’s beautiful! Dick was able to have it completed and to me by the time I needed it (which I didn’t give him too much time as it was for an anniversary gift)! I’ve already bragged and showed it off and everyone loves how perfect it is! Thanks so much!!

    Working with Dick from Carveshop, on this project was an absolute pleasure. I received a beautifully handcrafted box, that surpassed my expectations. I was consulted at every stage of this process and not a single detail was amiss. My sister always wished she could own a chocolate box, just like the one in the 1996 film Matilda, and thanks to Dick she now does. I was able to make her 21st birthday even more special with this bespoke gift and I cannot show enough gratitude to Dick for his time, effort, professionalism and unbelievable talent - the look on her face when she opened her gift was truly priceless and I could see it meant a lot to her. I cannot thank you enough Dick for being an absolute dream to work with! :)
