Jill & I would like to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. Amazing to think another year has come and gone. Thanks to you all your kind referrals and support, things are going good. It has been a busy year and I am glad to say I am still making stone furniture and building even more custom works than ever. Since last month I have built an "Adams Fly", a set of furniture, a table, a beautiful memory bench, and a custom light for my home. I really enjoy doing custom work, that's where my passion lies!
I had a great visit with my oldest daughter and now I am preparing for my debut at the Safari Club Expo in Dallas. I have enclosed photos of my recent creations, hope you enjoy. |

Recent Works:
Adams Fly Sculpture
I just finished this Adams Fly for a client, she ordered it as a gift for her husband. He saw it at one of my shows over the summer, but the one I had was already sold. So I made another one and she was going to surprise him with it.
The piece is wrapped in barbed wire. You can see the roll of wire behind me. This process requires VERY tough gloves and muscle.
Wall Sconce
Jill & I were trying to find a neat light for our house, but they were all boring. We wanted something unique and artsy. I thought about it and here is what I came up with. It's steel with glass marbles inserted for a retro fun look.
Hole Table
I really enjoy making these custom tables, putting holes in the frames and rivets. This one is fitted with a huge piece of polished black granite. They are so interesting and functional works of art. A great piece for the living room.
Memory Bench
Our client provided us with this beautiful saying to inscribe on a memory bench. Building pieces like this really gives my work true meaning.
A bench is a great way to honor a special family member, friend or even a pet. Benches are functional and affordably priced, they will truly withstand the test of time.
