The work

Carved by hand

Everything sells through the Etsy shop. When a piece sells, it is gone.

  • Basswood
  • 4–6 in tall
  • Painted

Flat-plane characters, usually 4 to 6 inches tall, with every knife cut left as a clean facet. Also wildlife, magnets and holiday carvings. Other sizes by commission.

About

Stand down. Pick up a knife.

I'm Jason, a U.S. Army veteran. At ease is the order to stand down and relax. This shop is where I do that.

I've carved wood since 2019. I started with simple projects and worked up to characters, mostly in the flat-plane style, with wildlife, magnets and holiday pieces along the way.

Every piece carries the AE mark on the bottom or the back. If it has the mark, I made it.
