This sign was done for my favorite butcher shop. Organic buffalo steaks sizzling on the grill....well, what can I say except WOW!

The lettering is mounted on a red leather background giving the sign a classy upscale look. The color also lends itself to the fine meat products they sell.

BEAN AROUND THE WORLD

As soon as I put these signs outside my shop for a quick picture I had company in the form a my cat. At least he works as a size reference for these two cedar signs which I later installed on the coffee shop wall.

ROSEHILL WINE CELLARS

ROSEHILL WINE CELLARS barrel is now finished and ready for shipping. Included in the order will be some wine glass hangers made from recycled wine barrel oak. It's off to the next carving now so stay tuned.

ROSEHILL WINE CELLARS

Here we are inside my shop. I'm currently working on this barrel for Rosehill Wine Cellars. This is the roughing in phase after which I will do a final consulting with the client to make sure we know exactly what kind of finish is to be done. This piece can be left natural or painted and all things in between. Stay tuned for the result.

NEW WEB SITE COMING SOON

Here we have my web master Jaden Nyberg taking some shots for my new website to be published soon so keep an eye out for that. Jaden is also an accomplished and awesome photographer. Go to http://jadennyberg.com for samples and contacts.

You can see I like to work outside in the sun. The light is better and the wood chips scatter into the yard. I guess I'm just solar powered since I've also been known to drag my work onto the beach......the best studio in the world!

I'm will be doing some on-site carving at different wineries next year so also be on the lookout for that.

HARD AT WORK

O.K. here I am chipping away at another wine barrel. These are so much fun to do and each one is different. Just contact me if you would like to work together to design that special piece for your home or business.

CARVED WINE BARREL PLANTERS

You too can order custom carved wine barrel planters with your logo or any other designs you like.

Enhance and brand your company, restaurant, golf course, winery etc. with one of these unique and long lasting pieces.

BACARDI

Here is an image created from one of my paitings and submitted to the Bacardi Rum company to be used as a label for summer coolers.

BEAN AROUND THE WORLD

Here is a sample of a coffee sign I made for one of my clients. I do work for a few coffee companies and this particular sign is made of red cedar with the graphics lowered and the colored areas raised. The sign was then painstakingly hand painted.

McNEWTON CELLARS

This is a quick shot of one of my barre carvings hanging proudly in the wine cellar of another one of my happy customers. The carving is hand carved into the barrel top and then stained to give it an "old" look.

OKANAGAN CHARM

One of the latest carvings, this is a depiction of the view from the dock on near a beautiful cabin on one of the local lakes.

SMALL SIGNS

Hello again. I thought I would put up a couple of my smaller signs to show what you can have made for your business or perhaps your home or cabin. These two are made of red cedar and work well for trade shows as well as store front signage.

SIGNS AND CARVINGS

It's never too late to get a new sign made for your business, home or cabin. How about having that tree caved that you just took down. The tree carved in the picture above came down in the big blow down that cleaned out Stanly Park in Vancouver. This red cedar almost took out the house of a local doctor so he decided to have me carve it with the view from his house. Now that's good karma.

The sign in the picture was also carved in red cedar and made for a company in Japan.

WEST COAST NATIVE ART

To show there is a bit more versatility in my repertoire I offer a variety of West Coast Native art for sale. These particular samples were all commissioned and are therefore already hanging in their respective homes but let me know what you would like and I will work together to create something just right for you. The canoe in the picture above is eight feet long and constructed as a half canoe so it fits flat on the wall. The drum painting was painted on an authentic skin drum and the painting in the top picture was painted on some beautiful laminated red cedar.

SIGNS FOR HOME OR BUSINESS

Here are more samples for you to peruse. Just imagine your family name or a great slogan for that winter or summer cabin made just for you. Be the only one on your block or by the lake with something nice to represent you and your retreat. I make my work with recycled materials to keep everything as green as possible because, like you, I strive to be part of the solution.

CARVED WINE BARRELS FOR YOUR HOME

Here are a couple of samples of custom carved wine cellars for your own wine cellar. Add an heirloom that will be handed down in the family.
