Tom Baker, Woodturner
I have been intimately involved in woodworking for nearly 50 years, designing/building custom homes, cabinetry, and woodturning. I retired in 2018 from a 30-year career with the National Park Service, and returned to woodturning almost exclusively. I strive to use wood species, grains, and figures
that are uniquely intriguing, resulting in rustic yet elegant finished pieces.

Russell Beebe – Working in Wood
In the Summer of 2003, Russell Beebe was commissioned by Lloyd Matthew Haines to create a 20-foot sculpture from a standing dead White Oak Tree. “At first glance, the big tree gave me an indication of how my design would evolve, from the juncture of the first large branch down to the base. The very uniform trunk offered freedom to create while the divergence of the branch above would dictate form. This and Mr. Haines’ desire that the sculpture honor the Tree, our Wildlife and the Native Peoples who once lived in the area gave me the spectrum to create.”
These two sculptures are called Haudenosaunee Story Poles. Russell carved these sculptures over the course of 3 years. They were commissioned by the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois 6 Nations) and will reside in a town called Austerlitz in New York State. One depicts the story of creation and the other depicts the dance of the six nations. The tree trunks are Incense Cedar locally sourced close to Russell’s residence.
See videos of Pole 1 creation, Part 1 and Part 2, and also Pole 2 Dance of Six Nations.
Russell also builds fine furniture, does repair/restoration, and teaches wood carving. He was trained in Chinese furniture building by master Jeng Yee in Bangkok.

Tucker Brandt
I create custom furniture and furnishings to enhance any residential or commercial space. I build each piece by hand and reject the design concepts of mass production. My extensive experience in a multitude of construction styles and materials allows me to explore ways to be creative while reducing costs and lessening impact on the planet.
I want to design furniture that people will find unique, and can enjoy today and for decades to come.
Currently working from Sam’s Valley, studio visits by appointment.

Don DeDobbeleer – Fine Custom Wood Furniture
In 1999, I moved to Etna, a small town in Northern California, and joined the Siskiyou Woodcraft Guild, where I have enjoyed the company of the other woodworkers and attended wood shows in Ashland, OR. In 2004, I entered some pieces in my first big show, Portland’s Best of the Northwest. To my amazement, I won the Best of Show and a Peer Award for my Demilune Table and received requests to teach classes for the Guild of Oregon Woodworkers.

Dev Klarer – Dances With Woods Woodcraft
I moved to Ashland in 2014 after a tour in the U.S. Peace Corps. I grew up in Kentucky learning woodcraft from a master woodworker who happened to be my dad. I have dabbled in many areas of woodwork including: bows and arrows, custom beehives, small furniture, and boxes.
As of this writing, my obsession in the wood world is with intricate geometric shapes and patterns and optical illusions (what you might label a form of parquetry). My aim is to make some of the most visually stunning cutting boards and wood wall hangings you will ever see! I hope you will check out my website!

Justin Laney – Sundown Woodworks
Established in Oregon’s Rogue River valley, I’ve designed and built homes, custom doors, windows, cabinetry and fine wood furniture since 1997.
Now focusing on CNC machining, this new direction is the artistic evolution of my lifetime appreciation for the intrinsic beauty of natural wood and stained glass, coupled with a true passion for working with hand tools and shop equipment.
Blending regional hardwoods, mirrors, and beautiful stained glass pieces, the models and art frames offered are truly unique and original. Each one is a singular combination of materials, design, finely tuned machinery, and meticulous hand work. New models and products are always in the works, including seasonal and holiday designs.
