it's CARV'd

Max's sketch turned into a timeless garden stone.

First Lieutenant Leahy and his commemoration stone to his Nation Guard team. Permanently housed in National Guard barracks in New Windsor, NY.

it's CARV'd is a small, personalized slate lettering and carving studio founded in the beginning of the COVID pandemic, in April 2020 and is located in scenic, Orange County New York. I use a variety of steel and carbide chisels', steel hammer (also called a dummy), crafting each piece by hand, never by machinery. I am honored to be one of the few African American stone artisans that practices the art of stone carving and cutting letters in the United States of America. My goal is not only to create beautiful art that will last a lifetime, but to keep the ancient art of stone letter cutting by hand alive and pass this art down to the next generation.

By working with me, you will have a work of art that you can pass down to your future generations. I hope to create with you soon!
