We took today to get the shop completely clean. No work was done, our sole job was to completely clean the shop; after 40 years in business and 9 in this location, we were guaranteed to find some gems hidden beneath the dust of a few years of neglect. We did, and I wanted to share them with you! I've got to start with this, because this eagle BLEW me away when Ted pulled it out of the rack!

| Hand Carved Mahogany Eagle |
 |
| So much depth and detail. Just beautiful, but somehow feels incomplete. |
 |
| I don't know what's up with the arrows, but I love the border! |

| Another example of a hand carved pictoral |
 |
| And Here's the whole sign- Beautiful! |
 |
| Hand carved coat of arms, with a chip-carved background. This is one piece of wood! |
I think this was my favorite find; Hand carved quarterboards from one to seven. The variety is incredible to see. There's simple shapes with just paint (Two, Five) simple(ish- those ends are incredible) shapes with gold leaf (Three,Four, Seven) The ends on Six are just out of this world- I can't imagine where the design for them came from; but the shape on One is just classic, understated perfection. Those banner furls are carved down to give the sign a 3D look that is mind blowing in person. I think you'll probably see a more detailed post on these and the eagle really soon!

Would you hang any of these in front of your house? Which one?
