Frequently Asked Questions

  • I create one-of-a-kind hardwood and exotic wood art pieces — including, but not limited to 3D wall art, carved topographical maps, signage, furniture accents, and custom gifts and collaborations.

    If it can be designed, carved, or crafted with character, I’ll find a way to make it real.

  • You can start by filling out the form on my Contact page.

    Once I review your idea, I’ll let you know if it’s a good fit and provide an initial quote or next steps.

    If you’d like to move forward, a 50 % deposit confirms your spot in the production schedule.

  • Typical turnaround is 2–6 weeks, depending on:
    - Project size and complexity
    - Material availability
    - Current production queue


    If you need a rush, a surcharge may apply.

    If you have a specific deadline (like a gift or event), include it in your intake form and I’ll do my best to make it happen.

  • Each piece is priced individually based on design time, materials, and detail level.
    - Small or basic projects (like simple boards or minimal carvings): $50–$500
    - Larger or more intricate designs: $500 +

    All quotes are transparent — no hidden costs, ever.

  • I work with a range of high-quality hardwoods and epoxy resins.

    including:
    - Maple
    - Dark Walnut
    - Walnut Burl
    - Purpleheart
    - Padauk
    - Cedar

    -Treepoxy Resin

    -Ecopoxy Resin


    Each piece is selected for its grain, tone, and natural character to perfectly suit the design.

  • Yes — within reason.


    I can create CNC-carved topographical maps, logo signage, or photo-inspired reliefs, but I’ll always ensure you have the rights or permission for any copyrighted image or logo before carving.

  • Yes!

    I carefully package and ship within Canada and the U.S. Shipping cost depends on size, weight, and location — it’s always included in your quote.

  • Absolutely.

    Local pickup in Sherwood Park, Alberta is available by appointment once your piece is complete.

  • I use Osmo food-grade oils and finishes when food safety is required (for items like boards, trays, and utensils).

    For pieces needing water resistance — such as bath caddies or outdoor décor — I apply a ceramic coating for maximum durability and protection.

    Each finish is chosen for its longevity, tone, and texture to bring out the natural character of the wood.

  • Because every piece is custom-made, deposits are non-refundable once work begins.

    If you cancel before major work starts, I can usually refund part of your deposit (minus a small admin fee).

    Once approved and finalized, all sales are final — but if something arrives damaged, I’ll make it right.

  • Usually yes — though every piece has its own unique wood grain and finish, I can recreate a similar version or build on that design for a new variation.

  • Sometimes — depending on my schedule.

    Rush orders may include a small expedited fee to cover additional labor or material sourcing.

    If you’re on a tight timeline, mention it up front and I’ll confirm availability before taking the job.

  • - Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from high humidity.
    - Dust with a soft, dry cloth.
    - Avoid harsh cleaners or soaking the surface.

    For functional pieces, apply a thin coat of mineral oil or food-safe wax every few months.

  • Studio visits are by appointment only.
