About Me

Wood Carver in Raeford

I am a Veteran who served 12 years in the US Army. During that time I served in multiple duty stations and was deployed multiple times to Afghanistan. While deployed, I was injured and due to those injuries I am now medically retired. Adjusting to civilian life and facing PTSD can be difficult for many Veterans out there and I was no exception. With support of my wonderful wife, my awesome kids, other Veterans, family and friends, and a wonderful program called 21st Century Heroes; I began to heal my mind and invisible wounds through carving. Having this creative outlet has not only helped me heal tremendously, but I finally get to do what I really enjoy! Now not only can I carve, but I can do custom drawings and illustrations as well. "I can bring your ideas to life!" Have a unique idea, a picture of a loved one you want recreated, a custom hand carved gift for the special someone? Look no further, I do everything from nature scenes, coffee scoops, guitar picks, custom carved recreations of photos, live-edge wood serving platters and more! “You name it and I can carve it!” Everything I hand carve and draw can be personalized and customized to your liking! Just email, call, or message me with your idea, we can work out the details, and I can give you an estimate

My Timber Inventory

If you don't have the raw materials to hand, I can source those for you, no problem. I know the best timber merchants in the area, so no need to worry. Whether you want local timber such as oak, ash, or elm, I can get those, in fact I already have those in my workshop. Should you want something a little more special, let's say mahogany, then I can get that for you too, but there might be an extra cost because it's a luxury product nowadays!

Hand Carved Items

My skill and experience when it comes to making bespoke, hand-crafted wooden items, is second-to-none. I have a good grasp on the varying requirements for each wood, no matter how soft or how hard. So if it's an oak chest you're looking for, or a soft pine stool, I can do it with a lovely varnish finish. Whatever you want, just let me now and I'll get it done!
