Commissions are very much a joint venture between the Client and myself and I would prefer it if the client had some general idea of the style of carving they would like, a purpose and a location for it. In the case of the two carved beams – the Tulip panel and the carved beam in the modern home – both had a practical existence and this was an excellent starting point.
I undertake many letter carving commissions and here are some examples of the differing styles where I have used raised letters – Mortimer’s Restaurant and the Hospice Panel – or incised letters – the two Way markers of Guildford Borough Council and a temporary Cross in a local Churchyard.
As each lettering commission is different in length it is difficult to give a hard and fast rule as to the cost but incised lettering generally goes like this:
- 1-15 letters = £21 per letter
- 16 – 30 letters = £17 per letter
- 31 letters onwards – £14 per letter
