I credit my grandfather for nurturing what has become a keen appreciation for all things wooden. My antique woodworking tools and skills were inherited from this wonderfully patient master cabinet maker.
I use many different varieties of wood: cherry, maple, walnut, cocobolo, and others with “character”, meaning figured, tigered, spalted, etc. to inspire a finely engineered and ultimately beautiful piece of furniture. I use the woodworking techniques employed during the 18th and 19th centuries. Please come into the gallery this month to touch and feel the warmth of the wood so you may experience the countless hours I have spent in a labor of love.
