Thunderbird Mountain Ash Bench

I am a reformed marketing and business development executive. As a lifelong woodworker I am finally spending my energy creating unique pieces using wood. I share this passion by teaching woodworking at a makerspace.

My pieces are primarily created out of wood. The joy unlocking the beauty of the diversity of colors and textures in the wood is pleasurable. Often, I use pieces with striking imperfections which many discard as unusable. Something I like to call Redemption Woodworking. To me marrying form with function is necessary for all quality creations.

Recently I have been making some interesting furniture: tables, benches, stools, and cabinets for area art museums. Between the more elaborate pieces making household items (serving trays, charcuterie boards, boxes, turned bowls, and toys) is a relaxing way to try different ideas.
