This, 3 panel hand carvings was inspired from a Greene and Greene 3-panel carving found in the Huntington Library,CA. The panel before you is filled with detail so brilliantly executed that our eye at first is swept into a panoramic story of a ship’s struggle to maintain sail against ferocious winds, ocean tides and waves. Upon closer examination we recognize the importance of each detail. Each gauge mark expresses strong marine movement. The wood grain enhances the direction of the winds, tides, and waves. Even the selection of the darker wood underscores the dark, foreboding tempest and the lighter wood captures our ship in the midst of its struggle to right its sail. Unlike other carvings depicting ships sailing on placid waters, this 3-panel carving gives us reason to celebrate the ship’s success as it continues to sail into an ominous horizon. We are reminded that the ocean is full of struggles and that the ship is made to endure them.

The overall size is 71” X 31” X 1” and took me about 600 hours to carve. Frame was built with African Mahogany and Panels carved with Spanish Cedar.

This project I carved from a solid piece of walnut, with a light Birdseye Maple background for contrast. I created this particular design with challenge in mind – the grape stems, mesh net, and leaves are intricately interwoven, which makes it difficult to carve the thin pieces without breaking them. Shaping the fruit inside of the net without breaking the strands of the net, and carving, 360 degrees, the individual strands of the ropes supporting it helped me to hone my skills and provided inspiration for me next Sipderweb piece.
It took me about 250 h to carve.

They say you cannot keep beauty trapped within a cage. The statement is completely exemplified by this work showing a rose climbing out the top of its cage before opening its bloom. This amazing work was carved out of only 2 solid blocks of wood! The rose was carved out of a single block of teak – even the leaves and rise petals are an uninterrupted part of the original block. The cage, equally as extraordinary was carved out of a block of mahogany.Took me about 200 h to carve it.

This wooden clock, carved from a single block of mahogany
Combines old world craftsmanship with novel artistic ideas. The
Clock itself rises prominently out a rough background set out
To display the progression of time. This is contrasted by the
Spider web above which implies time standing still. Both are
Distinguished by the border carved in Rococo style with some
Charming adaptations .The open door at the base is at once
Inviting and reminds one of home, with the balconies and
Shutters at the sides carrying the feeling further. The whole
Piece is a kind of house centered around the clock.

This beautiful walnut rocking chair was hand carved in the
Baroque style of the 18th century.
The shoulders are lions’ heads representing power of person who is in the chair. Flowing down the arm rests are Fish-Dragons, ending in detailed fish-dragons heads.
Below the arm rests, carved on the inside and outside of the rocking chair, are mythical
griffins that are seemingly flying the chair and you it into the air.
These fantastic creatures all contribute to the majestic feel of the rocking chair,
which has an ornate shell at the head. The quarter inch carving on the back
of the chair adds an elegant flair while being comfortable to sit in.
After putting your feet on the convenient footrest, you can relax enough to
become one with the chair.
Every time you look at the chair, you find a new, beautiful, and intricate detail that you may have only glanced over before.
I Designed,build,carved and finished this masterpiece approximately in 9 month.

With this clock, carved from a solid piece of mahogany, I examines the organic and cyclic nature of time and explores man’s complex relationship with time.

Throughout history, and forming the very foundations of civilization, man has attempted to control time through agriculture, by predicting the weather and managing the seasons to produce food. Likewise, man has attempted to measure time through clocks, from the sun dial and hour glass to the digital wrist watch. Man also tries to conquer time through the architecture of monuments the attempt to create permanence, from the pyramids to the skyscraper, from Stonehenge to the cathedral. But in the end, we are left with famine and flood, the clocks wind down, the monuments crumble and people forget their meaning. Man is mortal and time is the absolute.

But for the individual, time is linear and infinite, not cyclic. Ashes to ashes and dust to dust is for the body, not the soul. We break out of the cycle. We come from the ground, through birth, life, death, and ascension. The soul is immortal and time is the absolute.

I built this hand-carved music-stand for a doctor client, in part by recycling the solid-walnut top of a coffee table retired by the client. The table top was used for the sheet-music support and the base of the stand. New walnut having a matching color was selected for other parts. A through relief carving decorates the 17 in. high by 24 in. wide sheet-music support, and a caduceus decorates the central part of the stand. The walnut is finished with a first coat of sanding sealer, three coats of clear satin-lacquer, and a wax top-coat. The hardware parts for raising and lowering the sheet-music support were designed by me and custom made. Overall height with the sheet music support lowered is 55 in.

I was Inspired by the classical Rococo style, and decided to built and carved from one peace of a 17 bf Hard Maple board(years ago was requirement for contest to build furniture from on board),and this table was made by combining various pieces. The three dimensional look of the top center was made by inlaying from the same board quarter of inch thick. The inlay parallel to the edges was made from crosscut maple pieces, while the diagonal net was made using a plain cut. The exquisite detail on the edges and corners was added using most of the remaining pieces. In fact, almost the entire board was used, except for a few small pieces. The lack of material to work with inspired me to use all the spare parts to make the work truly superb and unique. The apron is carved with a shell surrounded by a flowing curtain. The curtain is so realistic that it seems to by floating in the wind. The legs are carved with an intricate spiral, topped with a linen fold as lifelike as the curtains.I used about 300 hours to finish this beautiful table. 35”H x 43.25”W x 19.5”D

The mirror reveals a larger carved shell motif near the top. Scrolls resemble
stylized waves as they flow back from the shell.
Imagine the repetitive cutout shapes and circular patterns on each side
of the mirror as underwater effervescence, as a smaller fallen shell floats below the larger shell and appears gently bonded by aquatic plants.
The light of the sun, the sunburst at the top of the mirror, makes visible
all life’s creatures under the sea. The mirror visually feels light at the top with a rhythmic, wavy motion transforming into harmony in the bottom,perhaps representing an ocean floor laden with a shell.
