This unicorn is made from cypress
and poplar. Glitter was adeptly
applied by my wife Hazel. I made
this for a wonderful, smart and
kind friend of mine. She is a
unicorn nut!
Some resin work in conjunction with my CNC.
Rebekah was my first sale with these tribal carvings. It went to a dear friend of hers in Honduras. Sapele top wood and maple below.
These pufferfish are both made of cherry and maple, but their positions are reversed. The lighter one is mine, but the dark one went to a GUE dive instructor - Kathy Dicker. She's a wonderful instructor and loves pufferfish.
Random CNC items. The bit holder is mix of woods and resin. The battery
tray is cherry, cypress, walnut and Cuban mahogany.

This sample plaque was made for my friend Bernie at the International Airborne Society. He's wonderful guy, great traveling companion and a veteran. The wood is fir.
I made this sign out of the ubiquitous Cuban mahogany you keep seeing (I have a lot of it). This was for a friend of mine at the Miami VA who is a psychologist.
This is a plaque I made for the 947th Forward Surgical Team at Camp Dwyer, Afghanistan. It was made for their new facility and remembers two medical soldiers that were killed in action.
Rebekah's is a budding, talented underwater photographer. I decided she needed a sign for her business: Out of the Blue Photography. The woods are poplar on top and ash below.
My first clock. Walnut, black olive and the toucan's eye is bubinga.
Our dive locker sign. Cypress
