I am a Master Woodworker. I have been doing different forms of wood working for over 30 years. I have built everything from cabinets, furniture, music boxes, guitars and custom dog houses to turned bowls and pool cues.
I have recently started a new business. I stabilize wood in different sizes, shapes and colors. We take dead and fallen trees and cut them to size. ( we have our own sawmill.) We dry them out, then process them to stabilize. We use an acrylic stabilization process to harden and/or color the wood. We can use wood no one would ever think to use! One of our favorites is Hackberry which is generally thought of as "trash wood", it has the most amazing figuring! If you have a specific project in mind, a cedar chest or a ring box for that perfect engagement ring, a guitar or a music box, we can either build it for you or we have the materials available to do it yourself.
I work with all types of tools from antique to modern, hand and electric. I have a large shop at home that I work out of and do all the work myself. I hope to hear from you.
