Carved Furniture and Sculpture Design and Restoration Wood or Metal

Carved Furniture & Wood Sculpture


Custom furniture and architectural woodwork, designed and carved to match any carver's hand or style, from Medieval, to flamboyant Baroque, or restrained Renaissance, or Modern. We match period style, even the hand of an individual carver. All carving is done by hand, by our prolific, exceptional craftsmen. We can carve to match existing furniture, or create unique furniture or sculptures for you. We also design, and create shop drawings for approval prior to carving.


Church pew end replacement, matching ca. 1905 Pews



Initial carving of solid oak blank	Sketch made prior to carving to layout work




	Roughing in of cherub face


The pew end was part of a 1905 Church and had typical Neoclassical details for the period. Grapes, anthemion leaves, Scrolls, Bellflowers, and the Putto face with wings were all part of the design.



Even the eyes, and lips were perfectly replicated.


MODERN SCULPTURE LOVESEAT
This loveseat was created similarly to the techniques made popular by Wendell Castle, laminating layers of solid wood, walnut for the piece below. While Wendell Castle used a chainsaw to rough shape his sculptures, we mostly use chisels and gouges. Our gouges are forged by our blacksmith, to meet special requirements for our carvers. The mallets are made in our shop too, our carvers can beat a mallet to death in a few days, even of the hardest woods like black locust or ipe.

Can Opener -
Another original design of our client gallery, Campbells Loft. One of our illustrious clients displayed a similar can opener sculpture to good use. He opened up, merged, and subsequently took control of the largest board rooms and financial corporations in the world, for perhaps the greatest personal success story seen in 20th century finance.
