Handcrafted in Niagara, Canada
Gavels worth
keeping.
Solid Canadian red oak, white oak, black walnut, and maple — turned and finished by hand in our Niagara workshop. For lodges, courts, graduations, and the milestones worth marking.
A gavel marks something real — a year of service, an appointment, a career, a graduation. It should be a real object: turned from solid wood, finished by hand, and made to be kept.
Made for the occasion
A gavel for every milestone
Choose the wood, add engraving, and we'll make it for the moment it marks.
The collection
Our gavel sets
The Art Cave · Niagara, Canada
Made by hand, by the maker
Our gavels are the woodturning side of The Art Cave, the studio of jeweler and woodworker Hrant K. The same hands that set fine detail in metal turn each gavel from a solid block of Canadian hardwood.
Solid Canadian hardwood
Red oak, white oak, black walnut, and maple, chosen to suit each order.
Turned by one maker
Every gavel and sound block is shaped on the lathe and finished by hand in Niagara.
Engraved to order
Names, dates, lodge numbers, and crests — proofed with you, then cut by hand.
Commission a gavel for the moment it marks
Plain sets ship from stock. Engraved sets are made to order — tell us the wood, the wording, and the date, and we'll proof it with you before anything is cut.
