McCandless Design has been at the
    forefront of carving and etching glass
    since 1981. One of the pioneers of
    etching tempered glass, we dispelled
    the myth that not only could it be etched
    but carved to a degree also.
         We work with glass of all thickness,
    mirror and tinted products. Our recent
    work has taken us to the use of
    patterned glass and illumination of
    panels using long life LED's. We also
    design and build custom mirror units and
    backpaint surfaces to add color or
    metallics such as gold and silver leaf.
    Let us work directly from your  drawings
    or create a design for you.
         We wish to provide you a way in which
    your dream in glass may be realized or
    that we may help you to dream. We work closely with designers,architects,
    and clients to carry their drawings out to a tee or help design a project to
    meet their needs.
    We guarantee a quality product as well
    as a pleasurable process.
