Loni Larsen – Custom Hand Engraving and Carving Artist

Loni has her hands in all kinds of custom engraving and carving projects. By looking at the variety of work she does, it appears that she is willing to try engraving almost anything. She sure has some fun ideas (and some happy customers).

Some of Loni’s recent projects include gun stocks, fireplace mantels, gourds, eggs, glass designs, custom lamps, knives, antlers and more.

From Loni Larsen:

Loni was raised in the deserts of Southern Utah, on a lonely ranch 45 miles from the nearest tiny town. Many days, her family was completely isolated from any contact due to wild impassible washes. Her only neighbors were a Navajo Indian family who lived more than 5 miles away. With no neighbors, electricity, telephone, central heat, or air conditioning, she did a lot of reading and learned to appreciate the beauty found in nature. Loni has done art in many of its forms, but truly found her passion in carving.

Each piece is a hand made custom original, no two are exactly alike. When you indicate your idea for an item, it will have the final appearance created just for you.

You can see more of Loni’s Carvings and Engravings at Loni Larsen Studio.com.
