Sonrise Woodcarving Studio LLC; Fine hand-carved and sustainably created original sculpture and unique functional artistic woodworking. Serving since 1986.
I started carving wild birds as a therapeutic hobby in 1983. I began professionally carving historically accurate reproduction fireplace surrounds and architectural details for William H. Jackson Co. of Long Island City, NY in 1986 and continued to work with WHJ co. for over twenty years until the recession of 2008 upended the housing industry. Over the next several years my wife and I transitioned to creating artistic carving, maintaining a small studio in NorthEast Pennsylvania and selling work to weekenders from NYC, Long Island, and New Jersey. Then Hurricane Sandy devastated our market and our customer base. We moved to South Carolina in 2013.
