I am a one-person shop and every item shown is designed and hand-crafted by me. My sketchbook is always handy and new ideas can be rooted in the most unusual places (a wedding, a vacation spot, a hotel lobby, or the library).
The materials I use for my work are mostly well-used and cast aside skateboard decks. The wood is a beautiful lamination of rock-hard maple, some layers colored for contrast. The projects I do are a simple way of re-purposing materials that would otherwise end up in landfill. Just call them "non-throw-away" works of art in a "throw-away world".
