Welcome to my Website, this is the place to explore the things that I have to offer. Mostly I want to give you a contact page, and some images to see of things that I have done and what I am doing now. I am continuing with the turning school, it has been a great success. I offer classes here in my shop about once a month. Click on the link above to learn more and see the schedule.   A new feature is the Wood Log, a list of what is currently available for sale.

What I Do

    In a nutshell, I build things. My background is in furniture design and building, I have expanded that to include woodturning, which has pretty much taken over much of my working day. I also have a penchant for stone sculpting and would jump at the opportunity to do larger projects. I work from my own workshop on a commission basis. I do offer wholesale options to genuine retail outlets. 

    I am a Craftsman. That statement says a lot for me. Yes, I am an artist too, but on the most familiar scale I am a craftsman. I make furniture, wood turn both functional and decorative items. I teach wood turning. I sculpt both wood and stone. My intent as the maker is important to me. I try to bring this intent, this same feeling and set of skills to everything I do throughout the day. I make things well, with a thought toward good design and pleasing use. I try to make things that will last, that will have a life of their own after I am gone. Sometimes whimsical, often practical, but always honest.

What's New?

      I am excited about some new furniture I am doing. Working with the lathe, turning off center pedestals and the like, it's a brand new look for my work.
