woodworking and sculpture

Craftsmanship First

Wood working requires exacting detail. It’s a challenging expectation with spectacular results. You can expect all the joinery on your piece of furniture to have tight, clean connections.

Fresh Design

I strive for design that is both comfortable and simple. Function dictates the shape while ornamentation is kept to a minimum. I try to let the materials speak for themselves, and I believe that utility leads to elegance. 

Old School Tools

While I do use everything from a table saw to a CNC router, I try to have as much contact with the wood as possible.  Old hand tools were what both my grandfathers used to build houses.  They last forever and they give you a finish that can’t be matched by power planers and sanders.
