FAQ’s

How much does a commissioned wood-carving cost?

There are a lot of variables that come into play with each custom piece. The size of the piece, the type of wood, whether you are supplying the wood, and the amount of detail you would like. For this reason, I request more information before offering a quote. The contact us form will ask for details and if any additional information is needed I’ll be sure to reach out. As a quick reference smaller projects that are 2-3’ large generally start at about $500, whereas very large custom pieces can start at $5,000. I am happy to discuss your budget and see if we can do something to suit your needs.

What about on-site projects?

I love working on “stump projects”. I am willing to travel up to 50 miles of Vancouver, WA to work on a project on site. Travel costs will be added to project cost.

Are there any projects you don’t want to do?

While I want to accommodate everyone I can, I also want them to have someone that’s excited to work on their project. For this reason, someone else would be better suited to work on your project if it is sports related, cars, or involves a lot of lettering.

What projects are you excited to work on in the future?

As far as wood-carvings, I am always excited to work on anything nature related. Some of my favorites include: Animals, birds, people, or landscapes. I also love painting landscapes and animals, and sketching portraits with charcoal. I’m a big fan of anything fantasy or surreal. I value a challenge, I’m open to ideas and will be honest as to whether something is in my wheelhouse, so if you have an idea, I’d love to hear about it.

What’s included in your paint nights and what do you charge?

I will drive to your location (within 25 miles of Vancouver, WA), and bring all the supplies (paint, paintbrushes, canvases, and tabletop easels). People just have to come prepared to have a good time. Cost is $50 per person participating, with a minimum of 6 people, maximum of 10. You’ll have your pick of 15 different painting options to choose from for the group. If you want something special just for your night, for an extra $100 I will customize a painting just for your group (within reason, we’re not gonna paint your Aunt Gertrude).
