For over twenty years I have enjoyed a fulfilling career creating wood objects. I have been very fortunate to make a living producing the quality of Design and Workmanship that is both challenging and rewarding. While my work has evolved, most noticeably in size, from accessory pieces to furniture and Architectural installations, I still choose to work directly with a variety of hand tools. This approach allows me to find a clean, unadorned, form accentuating the figure of the wood. My furniture is often described in sculptural terms because of the perception of movement in the piece.
Materials are carefully selected for figure and color. Although I work in a variety of domestic and exotic hardwoods, both solid and veneer, I most often use Cheery, Walnut, Mahogany and Figured Maple. A hand-rubbed, Tung Oil Varnish finish is used on all pieces. Tabletops are top coated with a Poly-Varnish for added durability. These images represent the scope of my work. I look forward to each new project, whether it involves one or several pieces for my original design or collaboration.
