I carve landscapes into wood using a CNC machine. Here is Jezero Crater, Mars, featuring a water-carved close up of the carter's interior. It is a carved from an aged piece of eastern red cedar.
The 'Face on Mars' with slightly exaggerated terrain is carved here into tigerwood and placed at different rotations to the setting sun. Thanks to @uarizonalpl.bsky.social for the Martian surface data!

Gale Crater, Mars

It's hard to believe that that this piece of eastern red cedar is free of paints, stains, and dyes. One thing we do know is that it is the perfect choice to depict the Martian surface.

These signs are quite fun to make. We can make one together, limited only by the dimensions of my machine and our imaginations.

They are available from the Artisan's Coop, a cooperatively owned online marketplace featuring verified handmade gifts.

This piece was a bit of an experiment. It is essentially an end-grain cutting board with a wood block print carved into it. The customer (and this guy!) couldn't be happier with how it turned out. It's made from walnut, hickory, and one thin piece of red cedar.

I doubt there is a collective noun for microphone stands. In such situations, we have a duty to create one.

A chorus of microphone stands?
A timbre?
A sibilance?
A frequence?

Vocabulary aside, they're available in my shop in the member-owned Artisan's Coop.

What kind of microphone do you use for remote meetings? I recommend getting the best-sounding mic you can get your hands on and mounting it in the most stylish way possible.

This one is available here: artisans.coop/pages/seller...

Somehow the relief carving filled with resin takes on an almost holographic feel. This microphone stand is available from my shop on the awesome Artisans Coop, from which benefits flow to makers and artists, not parasite billionaires.

An artist friend of mine from Knoxville asked me to carve some wood block prints of his designs.

He then took my my carvings to other artist friends and asked them to do their thing.

The end result is a sort of a cavalcade of artistry that I am most happy to be a part of.

For my first BlueskyNightMarket post, here's a dark and a light shot of some chaotic Martian terrain carved into a resin-filled piece of maple.

Other terrain carvings, on and off-planet, are available from my shop on the awesome artisans.coop.

This carving features interior detail from Holden Crater, Mars in oak and resin. A friend (the proud owner) is a huge fan of the TV show The Expanse. This burly piece of oak contained voids filled with resin prior to carving.

Here is Kaiser Crater, Mars carved into wenge, an African hardwood known for its sound properties and its contrasting colors, which are highlighted here by bleaching.

This carving and others are available through a cooperative Etsy alternative.

The video of this tiny carving shows the entire process starting with a larger rough carving bit and finishing with a much more precise fine carving bit. The resin and wood blank now shows the bathymetry of Lake Superior. This 90-minute process is shown here in 12 seconds.

These undocumented Canadian immigrants won't be paying any tariffs and they are welcome to nest at my pond in Kentucky as long as they'd like.

It's not terrain, but it's still pretty cool. It's carved from an especially burly piece of salted oak.
