I'm a woodworker specializing in the interpretations of household items. I use my mathematics background to design jewelry and keepsake boxes, clocks, tool boxes and items for entertaining. I execute all aspects of the creation of all my works, starting with the selection of the wood up through the finishing. A quality and creative finish is of paramount importance to me. Along with using oils to bring out the depth of the wood and shellac and lacquer to provide a protective gloss, I'm always experimenting with dyes to add color when warranted.
The collaborative process of a custom made work permits me to use my craft as a means of communication. I enjoy to work with a potential client to refine the combined vision and in the end deliver that unique work that complements their environment.
