Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I love the beauty and the warmth and the feel of wood. I love to work it with my hands and I can produce as fine a chisel cut finish as anywhere in the world. I enjoy working with people who have an appreciation of quality. People who understand that the work is not just to fill a space or to sit upon; but it is a work of art that enhances their environment and increases their quality of life. I do true "custom" work and I encourage the clients input into the design process.
I have a Master of Fine Arts degree from California State University, Long Beach in Studio Wood and Sculpture. I have worked a combined fifteen years as a master carver at Knott's Berry Farm and Walt Disney World. I was honored to be chosen to create work from the "Treaty Oak" for Austin, TX and the "Poway Oak" for Poway, CA. I have been teaching woodworking and wood carving for Palomar Community College in San Marcos, CA and El Camino High School in Oceanside, CA for a combined twenty seven years.
