The Archive

These works include retired commissions, early concept studies, and past projects that helped shape the direction of the studio. While they are no longer available for purchase, they reflect the craftsmanship, symbolism, and range behind the work.

Many archived pieces began as one-off commissions for collectors, clubs, and organizations before informing later work and future design directions.

They remain useful as reference points for clients considering a new commission.

Concept and Prototype Work

Early studies, unreleased directions, and exploratory pieces that helped shape the broader Canyon Crest Woodworks aesthetic.

  • sports fishing and hunting concepts

  • hot rod culture studies

  • early Sentinel prototypes

These pieces are archived, but they often serve as inspiration for future commissions.

If you have a piece in mind, archived work can serve as a starting point for something new.
