I love working with local native species found in weather damaged trees, “urban salvage” and firewood from my own back yard. The wood can come in such an extreme and unexpected variety, from understated yet sophisticated to sensationally spectacular. In itself, every piece is Nature’s work of art. It is my task to assist in the unveiling of the piece to that next level.

I use a wood lathe as my primary tool. On some pieces I add visual interest with dyes, paints, texturing and pyrography
