I was born and raised in Grants Pass, Oregon.  In my 53 years of exploring the beautiful terrain of Southern Oregon, I’ve learned to keep a watchful eye out for unique local hardwood that would have most likely ended up as firewood or just thrown away.  With a lifetime of self-taught woodworking skills, I transform these unlikely forest treasures into unique, heirloom-quality furniture and wood turnings. 

In 2018 and 2019, I was proud to be named Best of Show in the wood category at the Corvallis Fall Festival.  In 2018 and 2019, I was proud to be named Best of Show in the wood category at the Corvallis Fall Festival.

I take orders to make custom items. I am primarily a maker of custom one-of-a-kind boxes. Many of the boxes are veneered with book-matched burl. Elm and Walnut are two woods that I often employ. Lined boxes are done in either dyed goat or pigskin suede. All the hardware used is solid brass.

This box is one of a series I made exploring the use of curved surfaces.
The veneer is walnut burl and the interior is pigskin leather suede $650

I also make other interesting and uncommon items such as the butler’s table and the hand-
carved 15th-century style stool pictured below.

The quarter sawn red oak butler’s tray table is in the style is of an English antique,
but reduced in size to also function as a side table–$450.
The white oak footstool is a copy of a late 15th-century stool.
The broad legs, the stretcher, and the top are all hand-carved–$750.
