Trees are one of the few things in this world which we can enjoy after their lifespan of shady leaves, tasty fruits and nuts has ended.  Because of the perceptive mind and skilled hands of a talented craftsperson one can enjoy its rebirth into an item of great beauty and functionality that has the potential of living longer than the tree itself.

I devote great effort to the development of unique, distinctive functional products, formed from creative ideas, transferred to the multiple dimensions of a model, and finally to the finished product.  Every board that goes into one of my pieces is hand chosen for its exceptional grain and color.  Only the best make it to my wood cache. I take pride in precision workmanship and a piece doesn’t leave the shop until it is absolutely picture perfect.  Enter my site and explore a few of the many ideas those reborn trees would enjoy seeing themselves shaped into.
