Quality Materials. Licensed Mastery. An Obsession with Perfection.

We define the intersection of artisanal heritage and structural excellence. Specializing in #1 Kiln-Dried timber, we provide master-level architectural carving to a discerning clientele nationwide, serving Arizona, Texas, and across the United States. For projects within New Mexico, we combine this artistry with our comprehensive licensed general contracting expertise, ensuring every custom build is executed with absolute precision and a legacy-driven finish.

Stories From Homeowners.

  • Logo for American Southwest Carving Co featuring a spiral column with sun rays, mountains, and water, with text about architectural elements.

    “The photos on this site do not lie, and in fact our vigas look even better in life. I ordered ten vigas with 8 inch square spirals and new corbels to replace the plain vigas on the territorial style house I'm building. The results of replacing them is beyond impressive. They really make our front porch and rear terazza pop, adding a beautiful artistic dressing to our already lovely house. He delivered the items on time and installed them quickly and professionally. I can't rave either the product or the service highly enough. Lawrence is an artisan extraordinaire, no exaggeration at all. We're beyond pleased with the beauty of the items and the price. I would add more photos, but our house is currently a construction zone.”

    Lawrence is simply the best in his field. He combines an impressive level of technical ability with high standards of professionalism and determination to make sure that every job is done right. He installed an entire library for us and did an outstanding job. He uses all the latest high tech equipment and plans ahead very well at every step in the process. He is particularly good at communicating with his customers. Highly recommended!

    “Wow what wonderful work Lawrence does! He is probably the best craftsman we’ve ever worked with. He totally transformed our aging porch into a beautiful functional work of art. Both his restoration carpentry and his carving are top notch! If you have any type of wood work to be completed I’d definitely talk to Lawrence first.”
