All items are examples that can be made to order - all orders are 100% guaranteed satisfaction.  Use the contact form to request prices or to provide contact information so I can contact you to discuss specific items and price to make specifically for you. 

Hats shown on this page are full size wearable and are made specifically to fit your head.  Other styles are also available.  They range in cost from $500 to $1000 depending on the style, and type of wood.  Hats have to be made from green, preferably freshly cut wood and can weigh up to 50 pounds when starting; however, once finished they weigh less than 1 pound.  I also make mini-hats of the same styles for collectors and those cost $75 to $125.

The following pictures show the starting block of wood and the shavings removed to make a hat on the lathe. The final product was given to a friend and I didn't get a picture of it before hand but it was similar to my cowboy hat above.

Block weighed about 40 pounds
