- while Custom Carving is a unique lost art only few of the finest and most experienced artisans are talented enough to actualize. Nestled in the woods of Northern Upper Michigan's Peninsula, wood carving artisan, Dan DeForge, creates beauty out of the finest natural wood and carefully selected logs. Dan offers everything you need to make your house a cozy home by creating the finest custom hand carved and crafted home furnishings; from custom hand carved doors, intricately carved cabinet doors and inserts, custom cabinet panels, outdoor sculptures, and fireplace mantels.

Each piece starts with the finest select natural wood from the Northern Great Lakes region and select areas of the country, and is delicately shaped and hand carved to your customized specifications.

A Personal Message From The Artisan:
"Custom hand carving is a unique art of your inner expression and many times reflecting your lifestyle, personality and beliefs. I am here to help you express your artistic vision and personal expressions through custom carved creations.
To help you in this process, I prefer to work from a picture of a drawing that you have to show your true expression of art in your door, cabinet or mantel piece. This process clarifies your vision on what will be creatively carved and ensures you will receive exactly what you are ordering. If a picture isn't available, I will work with you on any ideas and suggestions you may have; updating you on the progress and any changes that might develop to enhance your vision of your personal custom carved creation."
