Residential and commercial commissions Wildlife, memorial, and story driven designs Freestanding carvings and destination pieces Direct planning with artist Aaron Chavez
A carving designed around your story
Every commission begins with a conversation. You can bring a clear idea, an inspiration photo, a meaningful animal, or simply a place that needs the right piece. Aaron develops the design around your goals and the natural shape of the wood.
Popular commissions include bears, owls, eagles, dragons, woodland scenes, memorial pieces, business attractions, cabin art, and personalized gifts. Each carving is made as an original work rather than copied from a catalog.
