Custom Handmade Metal Sculptures and Wood Sculptures for Sale & Commission
Calla Lily Metal Sculpture

In 2009 my son gave me a gift of a semester’s tuition for a metal-working and forging course at the local community college. It was a lot of fun, and I have retaken it many times since. I forged several of the knives and war clubs I have made in the college workshop. 

The first class assignment of every semester is always a loose direction to forge “something” from a twenty-foot length of steel rod. The Sword Stands and Lily sculpture are the product of that assignment. I spent a lot of time experimenting with new tools and techniques.

I have since branched out from metal-only sculptures to sculptural pieces that also incorporate hand-turned wood, hand-carved wood, and hand-polished wood.
