Bowl

Some of the most beautiful woods come from the Pacific northwest. I have a home in Washington state and spend a fair amount of time in the area searching for sources for these unique woods. All wood is recovered from construction or logging sites as well as from city and county maintenance milled by private individuals. I am pleased to share it with you.

I try very hard to maintain the natural beauty of all my pieces. I use only finishes that enhance Mother Natures designs and uniqueness. All pieces are sealed against moisture and their original beauty can be restored by a light coat of quality wood wax.

After thirty-five years of suits and ties, I traded them in for beautiful wood and a lathe. My basic style and techniques are self taught with lots of fire wood and patience. There is nothing more beautiful than what nature gives us hidden within the sometimes grotesque outward appearance of the starting piece of wood which reveals it’s innermost beauty on the lathe. My objective is to provide items that can be used but still maintain the natural beauty of the wood. I hope you enjoy using them as much as I do making them.
