Wood Carving Projects

Photographer needed at British Museum

I need a London-based photographer/videographer to visit the British Museum and photograph a carved hieroglyphic inscription on a specific object: EA1292, a granodiorite libation-bowl of Montuemhat, on display in Room 4 (Egyptian Sculpture Gallery), Bay 6. Museum entry is free, no special access needed. The inscription runs around both the top surface and the outer side edge of the bowl’s rim. I need: • Close-up stills of the top of the rim, in overlapping sections, all the way around • Close-up stills of the outer side edge, in overlapping sections, all the way around • Two slow videos panning around the bowl (one for the top, one for the side) • Please hold a phone flashlight at a low, angled (“raking”) angle across the stone while shooting — this makes the worn carving much more legible than straight-on lighting • Please review your photos/videos before leaving to confirm the text is legible, in focus, and fully covered with no gaps • Deliver full-resolution original files, labeled by section if possible Should take about 30–40 minutes on site. I’d love to have this done over the weekend or Monday morning if possible, but I’m flexible if that doesn’t work for your schedule. No need to wait for a reply before starting — everything you need is here. Message me on PeoplePerHour with updates; due to time difference I likely can’t take live calls.

Enhance & Design 3 Coordinated A2 Photographic Travel Prints

I am looking for a designer/photo editor to finish a coordinated set of three photographic wall prints for my kitchen/dining room. I already have the exact three photographs I want to use. I am not looking for new images to be generated or for the scenes to be redesigned. The work required is: • Assess the three supplied images and professionally enhance/upscale them as necessary so they are suitable for high-quality A2 printing. • Preserve natural photographic detail and avoid an artificial or heavily AI-processed appearance. • Apply a very subtle and consistent vintage photographic treatment across all three images. By vintage I mean slightly warmer, softer and more muted — not sepia, distressed, illustrated or heavily filtered. • Preserve the attractive natural colours of the food and destinations, particularly the blues and greens. • Create a consistent poster layout using a warm cream/off-white background/border, photograph centred, country title above and caption below. • Ensure all three have identical proportions, spacing, typography treatment and overall colour grading so they look like one deliberately coordinated set. The wording will be: ESPAÑA Buenas comidas, mejores momentos. ITALIA La dolce vita. FRANCE Bon appétit. The prints are for a kitchen/dining room with warm cream/ivory, soft sage green, grey, natural warm wood and small black accents, and will be displayed together in natural oak-effect frames. The finished set therefore needs to complement this palette rather than being overly bright, cool or saturated. I will also provide a fourth image showing a visual mock-up of how I envisage the three finished prints looking together on the wall. This is for layout/style reference only and is not an additional photograph requiring editing. Final deliverables: three portrait A2, high-resolution, print-ready files suitable for professional printing. I would also like the final editable/source files if possible. Please include in your proposal: • Your fixed total price for all three prints • Number of revision rounds included • Expected turnaround time • Examples of relevant photo-enhancement, print/poster or photographic design work from your existing portfolio I am looking for a fixed-price agreement for the complete set rather than hourly billing.

20 gift guide articles, brief attached (Human written, NOT AI)

Root & Still, a UK brand selling hand carved Buddha statues and mindful home decor. I'm looking for a freelance writer to take on 20 gift guide articles across the autumn and Christmas season, and I'd like a quote for the full set. I've attached the brief. It covers all 20 articles with the angle, structure, word count, keywords, products and internal links for each, plus how we write and a price reference for the products. Please read it before quoting, since it should tell you exactly what the work involves and how much research each piece needs. What I'd like back: 1. Your quote for all 20, and your rate per article if you'd rather price it that way 2. Two or three samples in home, interiors, lifestyle or wellness 3. How many articles a week you could take on, and your earliest start date 4. Anything in the brief you'd push back on or would want changed The schedule matters. Articles 1 to 3 are needed in August and article 5 has to be live by the second week of September, so I'm looking for someone who can start soon. We'd begin with one paid article before committing to the rest, so we can both check the voice lands.

Corner Pillar Flower Design for Wood CNC

I have attached two images of a wooden furniture piece. I need the decorative corner pillar carvings extracted and recreated as 3D STL files. In one of the images, I have marked the specific areas I need. There are three separate design elements, and I require each of them to be delivered as an individual STL file (3 STL files in total). Important requirements: Only the carved decorative elements are needed. Do not include any surrounding surface, panel, or background geometry. The designs will be mounted onto a round pillar, so each model should be created with an appropriate curved back surface to match a cylindrical form. The STL files must be suitable for CNC carving and machining. Experience with 4-axis CNC wood carving and creating relief models for curved surfaces is highly preferred, as this project requires an understanding of how ornamentation is applied to round columns. Please review the attached images carefully and let me know if you have any questions before starting. Thank you.

CHILDRENS STORY PICTUREBOOK

Hello, I’m looking for an exceptional illustrator to become a long-term creative partner on an exciting children’s picture book series currently in development. The project is called Forever Wood, a collection of beautifully illustrated stories centred around Moss, the gentle woodland caretaker, and his small companion Iggy. Together with the real woodland animals who live in Forever Wood, they quietly solve problems, help others, and create adventures filled with kindness, friendship, discovery, and gentle humour. For me, the illustrations are every bit as important as the words—perhaps even more so. I believe children fall in love with characters through the artwork first, and I want Forever Wood to have an instantly recognisable visual identity that children remember for years. I’ve attached a selection of AI-generated concept images. These are intended purely to communicate the atmosphere, composition, and overall direction I’m aiming for—they are not the finished style. I’m looking for an illustrator who can take these ideas and transform them into something truly original, distinctive, and full of personality. The ideal illustration style should be: * Warm, timeless, and emotionally engaging. * Rich in woodland atmosphere and natural detail. * Instantly recognisable and unique. * Expressive, with memorable characters full of personality. * Consistent and scalable across an entire series. The first book will contain approximately 25 illustrated pages, but this is intended to become a series of around 20 books. Beyond the books themselves, I’d love the artwork to expand into: * Classroom teaching resources. * Colouring books and activity books. * Character guides and collectables. * Pop-up books and interactive editions. * Merchandise and licensing opportunities in the future. This isn’t simply a commission for a single book. I’m hoping to find someone who wants to help build an entire world and grow alongside the project over the coming years. If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, I’d love to see examples of your work—particularly children’s books, woodland scenes, expressive animal characters, or projects with a strong storytelling style. I’m especially interested in artists who are excited to collaborate creatively, contribute ideas, and help shape the visual identity of Forever Wood from the very beginning. I look forward to hearing from you.

Project GHGTC-22B2

August 29, 2026 Project GHGTC-22B2 is a six-story building with (32) units and it is a version of Project GHGTC-22B1. Level 1 is the Garage. Level 2 has sixteen studios and all the balconies are enclosed with photovoltaic glass how they are in Project GHGTC-22B1. Level 3 has eight units--one bedroom, one bathroom--exactly how they are in Project GHGTC-22B1. Level 4 and Level 5 has eight (duplex) units--three bedrooms, three bathrooms. Level 4 is similar to Level 3 in Project GHGTC-22B1. Level 5 has a second entrance door to the hallway which is making this level different from Level 4 in Project GHGTC-22B1. Level 6 is the attic (the Electrical Room). The North side and the South side of the hallways, the elevators, and the Furnace & A/C Compressor Room are finished with photovoltaic glass from Level 2 to Level 6. The roof is covered with solar shingles and has (8) FX-200000 vertical axis wind turbines. All the balconies are enclosed with photovoltaic glass how they are in Project GHGTC-22B1. The structure of this project (vertical steel columns and horizontal prefabricated wood girders which are connected to the columns with elastic connections) is designed based on engineering calculations to stand up to a 220 mile per hour wind and strong earthquakes. The power plant of this project is designed to function as a micro-grid for the entire building if the grid collapses. Also, the power plant of this project is designed to function as a flexible power plant with the grid in order to make money for the owners of this building based on how big the battery storage will be (the money talks). Please find attached Level 2, the North Elevation, and the Aerial View of the Roof. I'd like to have this project executed in 3D electronic support. I offer $500 for the 3D electronic support and $150 for the 3D photorealistic renders how they are in Project GHGTC-22B1. NOTE: I'd like to have this project done and paid at the latest September 15, 2026.

Architectural Floor Plan — Two-Storey Residential House,

BUDGET: Open to reasonable offers. Please quote your price and turnaround time. PREFERENCE: Strong preference for a Ghanaian architect or draftsman, or someone with direct experience designing residential homes in Ghana or West Africa. Knowledge of local masonry construction, compound-style layouts, and generous room sizing conventions is essential. --- PROJECT OVERVIEW I need a clean, labeled, dimensioned 2D floor plan (ground floor and upper floor) for a two-storey residential family home to be built in Nalerigu, East Mamprusi Municipality, North East Region, Ghana. A draft floor plan has already been produced by another service (which I can share as a reference), but I am seeking a revised and improved version that addresses several shortcomings in that draft. You are not being asked to copy the existing plan — you are being asked to design a better one using the brief below. --- PLOT DETAILS - Location: Nalerigu, East Mamprusi Municipality, North East Region, Ghana - Plot size: Approximately 140 ft wide x 85 ft deep (one quarter of a 1.25-acre plot) - Construction: Solid masonry — brick, mortar, and concrete block. NO timber frame or wood stud. - Foundation: Concrete slab at ground level - Climate: Hot dry savanna — no insulation cavities, vapor barriers, or heating systems required - Roof: Reinforced concrete flat roof or steel-framed pitched roof with metal sheeting --- GROUND FLOOR ROOMS REQUIRED 1. Large open-plan family living room with island kitchen (island as the central feature, counter seating) 2. Formal guest reception room — separate from the family living room, positioned near the main entrance so guests can be received without entering the family's private space. Slightly smaller than the main living room. 3. Large kids play area (adjacent to or visible from the living room, separated enough to contain noise) 4. Kids TV room (enclosed, separate from the main living room) 5. Kids reading room / library (quiet, enclosed, wall space for bookshelves) 6. Large private home office (enclosed, quiet, away from kids areas) 7. One ground floor bedroom with ensuite toilet, shower/bath, and closet 8. Food pantry (small room, directly adjacent to the kitchen) 9. Storage room 10. Laundry room with a dedicated ironing area within the same room 11. One visitor's WC (accessible from the living area without passing through private spaces) 12. Entry corridor / hallway connecting the front entrance to the main living spaces 13. Staircase to upper floor (positioned centrally or near the main entrance) UPPER FLOOR ROOMS REQUIRED 1. Very large master bedroom suite — must comfortably contain within the bedroom itself: a small private sitting area, a dedicated dresser and vanity area for the wife, and a TV viewing area. Ensuite: toilet, large shower/bath, and generous wardrobe/closet. 2. Bedroom 2 — ensuite toilet, shower/bath, closet 3. Bedroom 3 — ensuite toilet, shower/bath, closet 4. Bedroom 4 — ensuite toilet, shower/bath, closet 5. Small storage room (off the central landing) 6. Central landing / hallway connecting all bedrooms and staircase --- DESIGN REQUIREMENTS - All rooms must be generously sized — this is a family home built to African scale, not European or American compact sizing - Clear separation on the ground floor between: (a) social/family zone and (b) private/quiet zone - Upper floor is exclusively sleeping and private - Natural light maximized — windows on all exterior walls where possible - Wall thicknesses must reflect solid masonry construction (typically 6–9 inches) - Target total floor area: 3,500–4,500 sq ft across both floors - Deliverable: Clean labeled 2D floor plan for both floors with all room names and approximate dimensions, in PDF or PNG format --- REFERENCE MATERIAL I have an existing draft floor plan from another service that I can share with the selected candidate. This is for reference only — to show what has already been attempted and what needs to be improved. You are free to redesign the layout entirely if your professional judgment suggests a better arrangement. If you have experience with residential construction in Ghana or West Africa, please mention this in your application. Knowledge of local building conventions, room proportions, and the cultural importance of separate guest reception spaces will be a significant advantage. Please include examples of previous residential floor plan work with your application.

Can sketch my ideas & physically build a rough test model

I am looking for someone who can do two things: 1.⁠ ⁠Listen to my product idea and sketch it out clearly. 2.⁠ ⁠Physically build a rough basic model of it, using simple materials if possible. I do not want CAD files, 3D renders, digital images, UX design, branding, or a polished prototype. I need someone who can actually make a simple physical version so I can see whether the idea works in real life. The model does not need to look beautiful. It does not need to be factory-ready. It can be rough, basic, handmade, and made from wood, plastic, card, foam board, 3D printed parts, brackets, hinges, magnets, or whatever simple materials make sense. The important thing is that you can think practically, sketch the idea, and then build a physical proof-of-concept model yourself. I am based in London and would prefer someone I can meet in person first, but I am open to discussing options. I would prefer someone based in London and or near London. I know some designers are like "any designer who is worthwhile makes cad drawings and renders". Back 200 years ago, there were no computers, yet people made things, inventions were still created. I need an 'old school' mindset because I just purely want a person who can and does make things in their home. Also, someone who has a great understanding on how things work and when things won't work. Please quote for an hourly rate, as I would like to find someone I can meet on a regular basis for various product ideas, not just x1. Also, before any work commences I would ask you to sign a simple NDA for idea protection. Thank you. **Important note: Important clarification about CAD and digital work: I am not preventing anyone from using CAD, digital modelling, computer renders or any other tools they feel are useful in producing the physical model. Use whatever methods you need or want to use behind the scenes. However, I do not want excessive time spent perfecting polished digital renders, and I do not want to be charged for hours of digital work that I have expressly said I do not require. Any digital work should be kept to the minimum in what is genuinely needed to create the physical prototype accurately. The work I am commissioning and paying for is the physical rough prototype, not a beautiful computer render. Also as I said I am not looking for perfection I am looking for a rough physical model that won't win any awards on beauty.

FInal render of Sketchup model produced

I am looking for someone who can produce a final render of a bathroom design I have created. I have drawn all units and created all the texture maps into the design. It is important particular attention is paid to the following: The large mirror is uplit with LEDS from the copper splashback feature. The glass top under the basin has LED's behind the back edge, so when on the edge of the glass can be illuminated. The etched copper in the design is the main feature. The Dark Oak worktop will be oiled, thus the sheen may need adding. The texture maps I have added are visually correct, but I do not have PBR textures, and as such, textures may need to be added. Texture would likely need to be added to: The door frontals with a vertical wood grain The worktop wood grain The flooring woodgrain Glass worktop would need reflective qualities as would the sanitaryware. The taps are matt black I have included images of the design for reference. I need a quick turnaround on this, the person must know that these are for final client presentation, and realism is important.

Interior Design for House Floor (approx. 80 sqm)

Hello, I am looking for a talented interior designer to create a cohesive interior design concept for the entrance and the entire "ground" floor of a house. The house has an upper floor, but that is not part of this project. Project Scope: • Entrance (~5 sqm): Currently in a raw state. Needs a functional design (wardrobe/storage, lighting). • Ground Floor (~75 sqm): Open-plan living space (kitchen + dining + living room), corridor, bathroom and master bedroom with connected bathroom (only shower and washing cabinet) that will be divided with sliding glass. The bathroom has tiles on the walls. Design Style & Aesthetics: • Overall Style: Cohesive, warm, leaning towards Warm Scandinavian. It should feel bright, cozy, and sophisticated. Our objective is to move in as soon as possible thus; the bedroom and majority of furniture should be from IKEA (mid to higher price end) with bed 180 cm wide. Except for the dining table as we need a dining table with an approx. size 230x100 cm so it will be custom made. The colours shoud be around wood, off-white and in a minority (10% or less) shades of blue. • Flooring: The entire ground floor and entrance will feature wood-look porcelain tiles (120x20 cm) in a neutral oak tone. The stairs that came in the house are of oak but are not mounted during renovation. • Wall & Ceiling Colors: o Most areas: Off-white/Creamy white (my idea is JUB Jasmine as it is available here). o Master Bedroom: A paint colour (coming from the tiles in the bathroom, see picture) that should cover walls and the ceiling including the ceiling of the connected bathroom. Fixed Elements (Open-Plan Living Area): The kitchen and living room are combined, so the design needs to tie them together using these existing elements: 1. Kitchen Layout: Already planned (IKEA Sinarp – dark oak finish). I will attach the kitchen planning files. 2. Kitchen Backsplash: Calacatta tile pattern (warm veins). 3. Kitchen Countertop: Off-white white or a bright grey. 4. Living Room: We are keeping an existing, well-preserved white L-shaped sofa (medium size). I would like to have a place to hide the iRoomba somewhere in the living room. 5. Bathrooms: Layout is fixed, tiles are already installed, and bathroom furniture is ordered (dark oak, modern style Ideagroup blob 80 cm wide plus large mirror). Thus, they are not meant for design. I am describing also this part of the floor for the purpose of cohesiveness. Attached Files for Reference: • Architect's floor plan (general layout). • IKEA Sinarp kitchen design files. • Photo of the mirror to be used in the entrance. Current site photos (showing screed floors, windows, and finished bathroom tiling) will be provided in a later phase. Deliverables Required: I am attaching a layout (2D) that my husband draw for the electricity and plumbing. However, furniture layouts in living room, entrance and bedroom are not fixed. Thus, I will need help in furniture layout/color/material, proposed wall colour, lights, and 3D photorealistic visualisation, and a basic furniture/material shopping list (mostly from IKEA). How to Apply: Please share your portfolio with similar warm Scandinavian or similar residential projects, your estimated timeline, and a fixed price for this scope of work. Please also state how many revision rounds are included in your quote. Looking forward to your proposals!

Book Marketer for Dystopian Sci-Fi Novel – Strategy + Execution

Hi, I’m Mikhail, I’m looking for a book marketer who can build and [IMPORTANT] execute a promotional strategy for my debut novel. I’m open to any approach that makes sense for the book. What I need is someone who understands the book’s positioning and can recommend the right channels, not just run one playbook. The book is ‘Android Against Moscow’, published on Amazon (Kindle, paperback, hardcover). It’s set in a near-future authoritarian Russia and follows an elderly theatre scholar and his domestic android as they steal classified evidence of state-sponsored historical falsification and try to escape the country. The genre is dystopian science fiction with political themes. Written by a Russian émigré living in Germany. What didn’t work: I previously ran an email outreach campaign that sent roughly 5500 emails to a broad list (poorly targeted?). The open rate was above 40%, but no purchases or reviews followed. Several contacts turned out to be genre mismatches – horror reviewers, psychological thriller bloggers – people who were never going to connect with this book. I don’t want to repeat that approach. What I already have: A published book. Some audiobook chapters. A prologue video on my YouTube channel. Graphics. What I need is someone who knows what to do with all this stuff. https://www.amazon.com/Android-Against-Moscow-T-Woods/dp/B0GYYZFBQ5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rh45nAewfjU About the book’s audience: I’m not an expert, but this is probably not mainstream commercial fiction. AI says that the readers who’d love this book are people who read Zamyatin, Orwell, Huxley, Philip K. Dick, Kazuo Ishiguro’s ‘Never Let Me Go’. They care about surveillance, AI consciousness, authoritarianism, and what happens to individuals caught inside political machinery. The marketing needs to find those readers specifically, not cast a wide net and hope. One more thing: the androids are inspired by the game ‘Detroit: Become Human’. I changed the shape of those LEDs, but the Detroit fans will immediately recognise them. But Kara’s story is totally different from Dasha’s. In your proposal, please tell me: What strategy would you recommend for a book with this profile, and why? What channels would you prioritise? Whether you’ve marketed books outside mainstream American commercial fiction, particularly anything with international, European or Russian themes. How you handle reporting and communication. How you structure your pricing. Budget is negotiable. I’d rather invest in a focused strategy that reaches the right readers than pay for volume that reaches no one. I realise that you don’t have time to read all the works. Feel free to ask for a review copy. You may feed it to AI (Claude and Gemini are the most practical helpers in this regard), and I’ll tell you what the machine got right.

Wood supplier in Hungary

Hi, I’m looking for someone in Hungary who sells oak logs (trunks). If you know anyone or can help me find a supplier, I will pay for the effort. Thanks!
