Wood is my material of choice for its strength, workability, chaos, and variety of beautiful brown hues. I combine power-tool processes and hand-tool work to expand my formal possibilities at the workbench and to enhance the tactile experience of each work.
All of my furniture is finished with non-toxic oil-wax blends or non-toxic linseed oil paints that are easy to repair and reapply throughout the lifetime of a piece. The oil and wax finishes allow pieces to develop a patina from daily use and sunlight exposure.
