Much of the inspiration for his work stems from his love of the outdoors and results in both a technical understanding of detailed species, characteristics, and science of his products balanced with an immense reverence for the beauty and mystery of nature. Look for the fine details and nuances to appreciate the imperfections and inconsistencies that make natural products so wonderful and unique. Enjoy these products and please take the opportunity to learn about your new and useful work of art.

For Wooden Business Card Holder With Custom EngravingThe final product arrived several days after promised. I also realize I should have provided more details about the custom engraving (i.e., I wanted more than just the carved block letters of the name, but also wanted them woodburned).
