Recent Plates

Early Plates | Recent Plates | Korean Chip Boxes | Other Projects


The following plates are some of my more "recent" work...at least from the standpoint that they are much better than the "early plates". Nearly all of these were carved as gifts and are scattered around the US. I sometimes do plates for fundraising activities (like the DU plates shown below). You will notice that many of the carvings are very detailed.

As I have progressed, I seem to have gone through several stages. At first, it was all about getting a decent product, then I became interested in the detail and complicated visual images. More recently, I enjoy nice simple carvings that make good use of positive and negative space and that are complicated in different ways (e.g., subtle patterns). I still do the "detailed" carvings, but these are typically carved as gifts. Most of the carvings I keep are fairly "simple" designs.
