Carved Furniture And Wood Sculpture Restoration

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.
