Unexpected Finish

I actually thought ahead and took my camera with me before I made the delivery on this last project. Apologies for the informal background. Due to some scheduling conflicts I wasn't able to use the regular lacquer that is normally preferred. What I used did the job, but it doesn't leave as much of a shine as the higher quality lacquer. This order, however, was rushed due to being pushed back for so long. But the customer was satisfied, which is the most important aspect of each project.

Christmas orders in full swing

I've been working hard lately to catch up on orders that have fallen behind since my accident, which thus far has been going fairly well. I don't think I will be able to complete all the orders that were placed, but a majority can be done in time. As I said before, I can still carve with a broken wrist, the process is just a lot slower than it usually is. I finished up 'Logan' this morning and have sent it out to be sprayed, but I won't be painting it per request of the customer. I won't have a finish shot on account that the customer will be picking it up directly from the spray booth.

 I'm currently working on 'Grandma' but will begin some drafting on the other Christmas orders before the carving is finished. With so many orders to complete, it's becoming more and more apparent that there will be overlapping in the production process.

 Other great news: I will be receiving the first order of business cards in the coming week. The design has been finalized and printing should be happening today or tomorrow. Once they come I'll do a small showcase so everyone can get a glimpse. I'll be including one with every order, just to get the word out.

Order Delays/Broken Wrist cont.

Update to everyone on what is going on since my accident last week. My head is doing alright and the lacerations are healing very well. I wish I could say the same about my wrist. We went to get an X-ray a few days ago and they confirmed that I broke off a piece of bone during the accident, which means I will be wearing a splint for the next 4 weeks until it has a chance to heal. I have yet to attempt any more carving, but I am confident that I can still finish projects, just at a slower pace. I will contact those of you that have placed Christmas orders individually to discuss your options at this point. Thank you for your concern and I hope you're enjoying this great fall weather! 


Keep checking for updates in the future!

Order Delays

All orders that have been placed are currently on hold. I've been in a biking accident and as a result cannot carve for the time being. I will have more info after a week as to how much I can use my hand, and will keep everyone posted.

The Christmas Rush has Begun

Christmas is on the way, which means only one thing. LOTS OF ORDERS! The only downside to that is that I'll have to really pick things up to get all of them done in time. I'm currently starting on two new pieces simultaneously to see if that if I can get them done quicker this way. 'Logan' is more or less something I'm used to, but I've never done something as generic as 'Grandma.' 

It isn't a bad thing, it's just something different, which might appeal to more people as something they can get for anyone. The updates will continue, but some pieces may be excluded to keep them secret from those who are receiving them. Either way, they will all be showcased sometime after the holiday.
