Custom Heirloom Commissions
What is an heirloom?
An Heirloom is a handmade item of personal value made to be passed down from one generation to another.
In a world dominated by convenience, custom work offers something increasingly rare: authenticity and human touch. Every detail reflects refined craftsmanship, preserving skills and techniques that are difficult to find elsewhere.
Commissioning a custom work allows you to preserve a meaningful place, memory, verse, or milestone in a form that will be enjoyed every day. It becomes part of your family's legacy--- somethings that reflects a part of your story worth preserving.
Whether celebrating a wedding, anniversary, retirement, new home, memorial, or family crest, handcrafted work reflects a level of thoughtfulness and skill that cannot be found on a store shelf.

No, I prefer to meet in person to discuss dimensions, materials, and complexity. Each project is different. Meeting in person helps avoid miscommunication.
I can do backlit LED strip lighting, trick lighting to achieve a certain effect, gallery lighting above heirlooms.
Wood intarsia is unique form of wood inlaying that originated in Siena, Italy during the 13th century. For your heirloom piece — I begin with an original, hand drawn cut-map. Then, I’ll select a pallet of natural hardwoods — considering the unique color, grain direction, and character. This allows the wood itself to provide every highlight, shadow, and detail. Materials are then planed down to the appropriate thickness as I consider the depth and dimension needed.
After transferring each piece of the template onto the wood, I’ll cut them individually on the scroll saw. Then, each piece is rough shaped on the belt sander and detail carved with a rotary tool using a variety of sanding bits. The pieces are then hand sanded, finished with a natural, protective coat, and fitted together much like an intricate puzzle.
Unlike mass-produced artwork, no two intarsia pieces are ever the same. Variations in grain, figure, and color ensure that every piece is one of a kind. Overall, the process requires tedious patience, precision, and artistic discretion.
No. If you want to invest in premium signage to represent the quality of your business — I create hardwood business logo signs with quality materials and natural finishes that will represent your brand well.
