COMPLETED WORKS

Every piece of wood has a hidden treasure inside!  My undertaking is to find the treasure and allow it to be discovered. As an avid woodworker most of my adult life, I create unique and unusual bowls, vessels, platters and works of art. 

​

My goal is to make the unique.  My favorite woods are camphor, cherry, cedar, spalted-maple, norfork pine, oak and various exotic species.  I look for the odd shape in raw wood, stumps, or the unusual knot or burl.  I want the stump that is thrown away by the sawmill and lumberman.  I want bark intrusions, worm holes, even some wood rot is okay with me.  I make one of a kind bowls, both turned and machine carved.

​​

I also make fine writing instruments made from exotic woods, antler drops and horn.
