" Whenever a historic restoration or new building project requires hand-carved architectural wood work, I call on Calvo Studio of Gloucester, Massachusetts to produce this work. David Calvo is versatile, artistic and also business-like and is able to coordinate his work with that of others on a project. His woodcarving is the finest available in this area. "
