Hand carved custom mantles
PAS 1_01 Custom Carved Fireplace Mantle
Only a few left!
Displayed here is a custom demonstration mantel showcasing the depth, detail, and variety of hand-carved designs that can be created across a five-foot span. Also shown is a previously commissioned oak leaf mantel, included as an example of a completed custom piece. This particular mantel has been sold and is displayed for inspiration only.
The featured mantel is not available for purchase, but serves as a sample of the custom work I can create specifically for you. The carving incorporates multiple design elements to demonstrate the wide range of themes, textures, and scenes that can be incorporated into your own personalized mantel. You can view this display piece at Artistry of Hope, 724 Pellis Rd. Greensburg PA.
This carving measures approximately 8 inches high, with relief carving reaching nearly 2 inches deep in some areas. I can custom carve mantels from photographs of your family farm, home, cabin, business, or other meaningful locations. Simpler repeating themes, such as oak leaves, wildlife, scrollwork, or other decorative patterns, can also be designed to fit your style and space.
Custom carving work is priced at $3.50 per square inch of carved area, plus the cost of the lumber or beam. You only pay for the portions that are actually carved, not the entire mantel surface. For example, a 4-foot mantel that is 8 inches high with only the center 2 feet carved would total:
24" × 8" = 192 square inches
192 × $3.50 = $672, plus material cost
Local delivery is available for an additional fee, or pieces may be picked up directly from my studio by appointment.

PAS 3_02 Quiet Peace
Sold out
This piece can be purchased at Artistry of Hope in Greensburg. 725 Pellis Rd. Greensburg PA. You cannot order from the website and pick up at the store, purchase can only be done at Artistry of Hope.
What began as a simple practice piece evolved into a finished relief carving inspired by the quiet beauty of nature. I wanted to experiment with creating open pine and fir trees rather than the fuller evergreens I normally carve. Pleased with the results, I decided the piece deserved more than being set aside or discarded.
Starting with only three trees, the scene gradually developed one element at a time. I envisioned a peaceful woodland setting with no people or animals — just the calm simplicity of nature itself. A flowing stream was added, followed by distant background trees, a rugged peaked mountain, and deciduous trees framing the composition. Each feature naturally evolved from the last as the carving took shape.
The result is a one-of-a-kind handcrafted wall art piece that captures a quiet mountain landscape and the creative process behind it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed bringing it to life.
Hope you like it.
PAS 3_03 Key holder
Sold out
This handcrafted wall-hanging key holder began as a beginner’s project from a woodcarving chisel kit, but I chose to take it far beyond the original design. The carved leaves feature added depth and detail through custom relief carving, transforming the piece into a unique decorative work of art rather than a simple practice project.
The piece is finished with Danish oil to enhance the natural beauty of the wood, hand-painted with acrylics, and sealed with a clear acrylic protective coat for durability. Because of the additional artistic detail and craftsmanship, I personally signed this piece.
This item is also available for direct purchase This one-of-a-kind carving is available for direct purchase at the FlatIron Building Heritage Center in Brownsville.
Please note: this item cannot be ordered through this website for pickup in Brownsville.

PAS 10_01 Pencils with wood spirit faces
These hand-carved Wood Spirit pencils are individually carved from regular #2 pencils, transforming an everyday writing tool into a unique miniature work of art. Each face is carefully shaped by hand, giving every carving its own personality and character.
The tradition of carving faces into wood traces back to Germany and the legends of the Black Forest. According to folklore, Wood Spirits possessed magical powers that protected the forest from fire and destruction. It was believed that keeping a Wood Spirit carving in the home would bring protection, along with happiness, good luck, and peace.
These detailed carvings make wonderful conversation pieces, gifts, collectibles, or desk displays for anyone who appreciates handcrafted folk art and woodcarving traditions.
