Patterned after originals in Central Park, these rosettes were commissioned by a client with homes in Manhattan and in upper New York State. He commissioned these because he loved the originals in the park and he was having a dry-laid stone wall made for his home, and wanted to customize the posts.
This is my initial sketch. From this I made a template so each quarter would be the same.

When I want to make duplicates of a design, I do each piece step by step, keeping each stroke and each chisel the same for each piece.

I’ve always found this kind of work relaxing and meditative. I hope it brings that feeling to the client.
