Each sign begins as a spark of inspiration, a vision I translate into sketches, exploring shapes and details that capture the heart of the piece. This is where art and purpose come together, guiding me to create something that’s more than just a sign—it’s a story.
Choosing the perfect materials is key. Each wood has its own character—from rich, warm grains to softer, muted tones—and a carefully selected finish brings out the best in every piece, adding depth and vibrancy. I consider how each element will blend, balancing the tones and textures. And experimentation is part of the fun! Mixing finishes and trying new combinations often leads to textures and effects that surprise me, making each piece uniquely expressive.
Precision starts with the right blade or tool I use to cut the piece. I carefully select the best blade for each type of wood or material, ensuring every cut is smooth and accurate. From fine blades for intricate details to heavier blades for bold cuts, the choice shapes the outcome. Once cut, the real artistry begins with shaping: I use a variety of bits and techniques to bring each piece to life, carving out contours and details that make the design distinct. And yes, there’s plenty of sanding—each stroke adding to a smooth, refined finish that feels as good as it looks.
