Custom Tools

I've regrettably had to turn away many requests for custom orders the past few years because I haven't been able to take time away from my normal production to make one tool. But I really like the challenges of making custom tools. Working through all the nitty-gritty with the customer about exactly what the tool will be expected to do - that (and making it) is as good as it gets for me! So I'm planning to "take a week or two off" once a year to work on custom tools all together. This November (2013) will be the next time. I'm making a list of customers who may want something. I'll inform them about a month early (October) to start working through all the details. If you want to be on that list, please let me know.

Below are some examples of custom tools I've made for customers. (scroll ddown for more)

My carving knives are intended for serious wood carvers. They are razor sharp and can be very dangerous if used improperly. Please be careful and don't allow young people to use them unsupervised.

Your satisfaction is fully guaranteed. If you have a problem of any kind with one of my knives, please let me know. I will make it right with you.
