My Greatest Commission Yet: Family Crest Drawing & Carving

What began as a quiet act of devotion—three years ago, inked in stippled precision on calfskin vellum—has been transformed into a towering 5-foot carved testament to legacy and craft. Created for a special family, this piece borrows from heraldic tradition—featuring the bear, otter, closed helmet, eagle, shield, the trinity of lion heads, flowing vine work, and the elk—while being thoughtfully modernized to tell their faith-centric story for generations to come.
