Over the years a number of businesses and institutions have commissioned carving to be used for corporate and retirement gifts, donor recognition and awards. These projects continually challenge me to push the envelope of design. While some of these carvings are purely functional - like the donor recognition boards - others are meant to be more artistic than functional. Requests for carvings have come from banks, schools, hospitals, libraries, school boards, exhibition societies, poiltical parties and the like.

The carvings below will give you a sampling of some of the more recent projects I've completed. The possibilities are endless, and I enjoy the challenges these projects offer.

This piece was carved in Red Oak, measuring 36" diameter, for the newly renovated offices of PWSD which is the largest employer in the Peace River area. "Waptiti" is the first nations name for "Elk".
Wheat, oil, water and agriculture are the mainstays of this region which is situated on the northwest border of the foorhills of the Rockies.
