I started hand sculpting this one off aluminum cross back in 2015.I finished last year. Its mounted on a slightly larger wooden cross that had been laminated with walnut burl, and was French polished. Special thanks to my friend Joe Magliato for helping me with this piece.

A couple of years ago, I hand engraved this beautiful custom urn in honor of a young man gone way to soon. This urn was specificallyconstructed to keep the ashes of Aidin and eventually the ashes of his parents. I'd like to thank both Thomas and Shanna for trusting me with this heart felt project, I'm truly honored. Also a big thanks to Ron Hachez for stepping up and making the cradle that supported the urn. #tarrera #customurn #engravedurn #art
How awesome is this? Jesse is pretty sneaky, he saw my post I posted back in February of me going "In through the out door" to a local guitar center looking for a Gibson Les Paul Standard. A little while later he surprised me with this. As you can see he has a heart, a very gracious heart. Out of all the amazing projects I worked on and created for WCC. There's a moment in time that stands out more than any project. It was when my sister Leslie was hospitalized for sepsis, RA and a myriad of other serious complications. Her four and a half year battle was horrible to witness. During that time and until the end Jesse would call and ask about her. Their were times we'd spend 20 minutes chatting on the phone as he voiced his concern over Leslies declining health, and other times just chatting about our day. Guess he knew I had to get some sh*t out. Sometimes I'd be thinking to myself, ok... I got to end this call and get back to work and I'm quite sure he did too! Lol. But I could tell he cared about Leslie, someone he never met but was concerned about her horrible situation. He did something for her that I wont get into which made her feel so special. 🇺🇸 If you ask me perhaps I'll tell you. She was smiling for weeks! It makes me wonder how many times he has done amazing things that no one will ever here about. Well... GOD knows. Thank you my friend!
I posted a vid of this hand engraved oil bag back in Oct. I really liked the way it came out. So much so I thought I'd share it again.
This brass seat pan was one of many pieces I engraved for Metallica's custom chopper "Blackened." It was built to promote their whiskey of the same name. Builder @kirktaylor.cds #metallica
Some next level scrollwork I engraved on a stainless frame for Mr James at West Coast Choppers, 2020. Tapping that ferrum mass since 1980.
I engraved this steel tube back in 1998. I used it for one of my display pieces at bike shows to show various styles. It's a little beat up yet the chrome still holds up. But what I really like is how the the polisher was extremely careful not to polish out the fine lines after I engraved it. Hard to find a polisher like that nowadays.
20 years ago I was planning to engrave and chrome this motorcycle exhaust heat shield. I wanted to use it as one of my samples to show at various bike shows. Well I stopped going to bike shows and I shelved it after only completing half of it. Last week I cleaned it and finished the engraving. I'll post pics when I get it back from getting it chromed.
