The coat of arms is finally carved and here it is with the first coat of finish applied. Now you can see the elements of the shield that tell the family stories, like the lion rampant, the stone castle, the Viking ship, and the hand with nine stirrups around it. #gvmstudio

Tonight I received the City of Vancouver's Award of Excellence in the Entrepreneurial Cornerstone category along with fellow recipient Celine Bacani.

A very person came up to me afterwards and said: I'm so excited to see two things I love to use everyday get recognized: Lee's Donuts and Miss604 ❤️

I’m getting close to completing this commission carving. The family wanted their traditional coat of arms.

Carving the helmet on the MacNeil #coatofarms. Have to adjust the perspective a bit but it is almost there.

I installed the cross today. The client was very pleased which made me feel pleased too!

Finishing up making a large cross (5’6”) in the mid-century modern style for a client. Installation is scheduled for tomorrow.

Do you even read bro? I carved a few of these book spreader thing-a-ma-jigs in walnut. We like using them. Not recommended for Kindle or iPad 😉
