- I always do the best work I'm capable of, and I always seek to improve.
- Prices are calculated on a "per hour" basis, at $50/hr. [e.g. If it takes me 30 hours to carve six Chickadees, each Chickadee is priced at $50 X 5 hours = $250. Any applicable discounts are then applied.]
- Orders for carvings are taken with no deposit, but with the expectation that the customer will pay promptly upon the completion of their order.
- I usually carve from four to six of any species at a time, but special, one-of-a-kind carvings can be ordered at a pre-agreed upon hourly rate.
- An estimated completion date is given with an order with the understanding that I am usually back-ordered, and therefore cannot be precise about when the order will be started or completed.
- If significant time has elapsed since an order was placed, I will contact the customer for confirmation that they still want the carving they ordered, before I begin work on it.
- Discounts are given for multiple purchases at one time and to all repeat customers.

- Discounts do not apply to one-of-a-kind orders, Powertool carvings, or to items under $350.

- Songbird carvings can be remounted for $50 per bird. [e.g. The customer buys a carving, then wants it mounted to a different base of his or her own choosing.]
- Special orders may be declined for any reason, or returned for a full refund if the customer is displeased with them, provided they are returned undamaged within one week of receipt.
