    If I'd commission a coat of arms in stone… what should I bear in mind?

    I often get asked what it costs to have a coat of arms carved in stone. However, I noticed that there is often still a lot of confusion for many customers. Why is it so expensive, why there are different price ranges for the same crest, and in what are you different from others? What is the added value to…

The lad with the ears of corn got a new leg, which I've carved out of a block of sandstone. All the parts of the two putti are bonded,…

    Corbel: a cat with wings

    This next corbel for the Eusebius Tower is intended for the north side 22 meters up, and is part of a group chimeras or a kind of winged cats. The cat with wings on this corbel is holding some kind of pot or bag, it's not quite clear what was intended there. I made one…
