Custom Commissions

Gallery

A selection of past commissions. Each was made for a specific person and built around the thing they wanted to keep.

Every piece here was designed around the one thing it holds — a frame that echoes the photograph inside it, a stand built around a single stone, an inlay that answers the art. Built from locally sourced hardwoods and select exotics, each was made for one person, one object, one purpose.

Clocks

The Horizon Clock

A low, linear timepiece in red oak with walnut inlays, its face floating behind a clear panel on four standoffs.

Sculptural Wave Clock

A dramatic angular form in cherry, its hours marked by alternating aluminum and brass dots, the face floating behind a clear panel above a carved wave-cut base.

Picture Frames & Triptychs

Aged-Padauk + Alloy

Warm, deep-toned padauk set with columns of aluminum dots angled to echo the sloping lines of the church in the print.

Triptych Frame

Three whitewashed maple panels with a cherry inlay worked into a pattern of three crosses to echo the prints it holds.

Modern Multi-Tone Frame

Three stacked hardwoods, walnut to oak to maple, aligned so the grain transition follows the horizon of the photograph it holds.

Zebrawood Picture Frame

Bold zebrawood with deep striping, built up in a wide stepped profile around the image.

Leopardwood Picture Frame

Figured leopardwood with its distinctive flecked grain, framing a cherished portrait.

Keepsake Boxes & Stands

Modern Grid Box

A maple keepsake box wrapped in a cherry grid inlay, personalized with three inlaid symbols on the lid, opening to a lift-out tray above a lower compartment.

Sea Jasper Fossil Stand

A polished sea-jasper specimen cradled on a grooved walnut base, paired with a copper tube that holds a rolled document telling the stone's story.

Sculptural Pieces

Form + Fossil I

A slab of petrified wood paired with maple hand-carved to mirror it, each held upright between aluminum posts on a curved walnut base.

Form + Fossil II

A slab of banded petrified wood paired with walnut hand-carved to mirror it, each held upright between aluminum posts on a pale maple base.

Bobcat Perch

A wildlife photograph in red oak with a gold mat, four maple slats raking diagonally across one corner like a bobcat's claw marks.

Reed Lake Reverie

A black-and-white lodge scene in dark-stained wood, mounted with a birch branch and a piece of raw quartz.

Other Commissions

Heirloom Chessboard

Walnut and cherry squares set within a fine maple grid and framed in solid walnut, the board sized and built to host its glass pieces in play.
