About Me
My passion for woodworking began in high school woodshop class. My first project was a Walnut and Maple bowl that I turned on a lathe.
My mom still has that bowl 40+ years later. That is when I realized I can make something with my hands and a few tools that can last a lifetime.
Some Of My Work
Here is a showcase of my creative endeavors and projects that reflect my passion for design and craftsmanship.
We Kiln Dry Our Own Wood
I have an Alaskan chainsaw mill, that allows me to cut logs up to 48” in diameter. By cutting, and processing my own slabs, I can control my supply of materials. The next step is to dry the material. So, I built my own 10’ x 14’ solar kiln, to not only dry wood, but to kill any bugs that might live in the wood. This is achieved by maintaining a specific temperature in a controlled environment. The sun provides this for us, we just need to use the source to our advantage.
About Our Products
We use only quality, kiln dried Hardwoods.
We love to create unique looking products using highlights of imported, exotic hardwoods such as Sapele, Jatobá, Zebra Wood, Padauk, and Wenge, from Africa. Along with all domestic hardwoods.
My shop is just large enough to handle large projects and keep producing smaller items. I have built small 2’ x 4’ epoxy/river coffee tables. And, I have built a 15’ long x 5’ wide conference table, and many sizes in between.
I have a wealth of experience in crafting a variety of furniture pieces, including stylish coffee tables and functional conference room tables, along with delightful smaller creations like cheese slicers and elegant charcuterie boards.
