Notice - I have shut my doors as an artist for hire in order to pursue other interests. Once again, my woodworking is for the joy alone, and I am producing only gifts and items for personal use. Feel free to look around, though, and if you want to ask a question or make a comment, I can be reached at jtempattexascarverdotcom. (replace at and dot). I have not made changes to my site other than this introductory message, but items are no longer for sale. JWP

Hello, and welcome to the site:

your source for finely crafted unique furniture, sculpture, and architectural carving. Please take a look around and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to use the "contact me" button on the site menu.

In the Galleries area, you will find a portfolio of my work. Furniture is generally made only to order, though sometimes there will be items for sale. Several sculptures and ornamental carvings are for sale, and they will give you a feel for the style of work that I do.

Additionally, there are galleries of photos for ideas and inspiration. Right now the galleries are photos from Thailand: Buddha images, carvings and architecture. Later there will be a collection of architectural details from Britain and another from Bali. Many of the items are photographed from various angles if you want to use them for design.

Take a look at the Other Items area where I have many interesting and beautiful items from Thailand that are for sale. A number of new and old Buddhas are offered. In the Tools for Sale area there are quite a few British molding planes offered, in addition to other odds and ends.

I hope that all who visit find something of interest, whether it be a unique gift, the perfect piece for your home, or maybe just some inspiration. If you don't see exactly what you're looking for, you've come to the right place. I will gladly work with you to design a one-of-a-kind piece that fits your taste.
