Simple Things Exceptionally Made

Tiny organic machines, in large numbers over long periods of time, have created their own art – not as a byproduct of living – but as a statement that intent is its own form of harmony. Draw close, open your mind and be part of the story of a tree's second life.

My passion is sharing the wonder I find in nature. My artistic challenge is helping the work tell it's own story. My method is to shine a light on the features that tell that story, changing as little else as possible.

I work with locally harvested, reclaimed/recycled wood and other natural materials I find. The flaws are not faults; they're beauty marks. They are the story of the tree's first life.

As uniquely different and cosmically similar as you and I.

When not woodworking, I can usually be found making or playing music.

When needs must, I write and code for money.
