Our Lady Indian was created
for an unusual bar in Covington, Kentucky. There is a cigar store inside of the bar and they wanted a female Indian. She stands 6' tall, is made out of basswood and is colored with tinted stain, which gives her a nice soft look. She took 129 hours to make. The facial features are amazingly lifelike. She is a compliment to our carver who created her. She greets everyone who enters the cigar store.

Although we do not make gunstocks, we can do a wide variety of carvings on your present gun. It can be as simple as carving the customer's initials or carving it 100% with a wildlife scene or whatever the customer chooses. The gunstock shown here was carved for a local man._He presented this to his son when he graduated from high school. Having a carving on a gun is very unique and something a gun owner would be proud to display.

 The Indian Story..

A gentleman from Nokomis, IL contacted us and asked if we could restore an Indian he had.  He brought it to us and after examining it, we determined it was too badly weathered to restore it.  He requested we make him one just like it. This is our finished product.  He stands 7 feet tall.  He is made out of basswood and he is standing tall in his town of Nokomis, IL. 



 This ferocious panther was created in 1997 for Western Middle School in Russiaville, IN. This was a donation from the First National Bank of Kokomo as part of it ongoing Partners in Education program with Western School Corp. The Panther is 6' tall and stalks the atrium of the school. The panther is made out of basswood and took approximately 172 hours to make. Kiln dried, rough lumber required hours of millwork to smooth and square the wood. The wood was then laminated together layer by layer and when the large block of wood was completed, a pattern was drawn on the wood and roughed out with a chainsaw and grinders. Then the hand- chiseling process began. Millwork takes up much of the time in our carvings. These pictures show the raw wood and the completed, painted, original creation.

This exquisite piece of furniture is a chair fit for a king. It has many features which includes carved dragons along the arms of the chair, a carving of the man in the mountain on the back, the legs and feet of the chair also have the style of the man in the mountain and is elaborated with wings and claw feet. An individual from Missouri brought this antique chair to us in pieces. There were pieces missing and he wanted us to reproduce this chair in myrtle wood. We pieced the chair together to see what the original looked like. We added pieces that were missing. We then reproduced the chair in the myrtle wood that the customer wanted. This chair took 240 hours to reproduce. We then reproduced the chair again, only this time in solid mahogany. We displayed this in our showroom for a number of years. A customer from Troy, OH, who loves to collect unusual items saw this and eventually bought it. It is definitely a collector's item. We have made a third one which is in our showroom now.
