I LOVE WHAT I DO

"I'm liking Black Walnut quite a bit lately because when it's finished it has such a deep, rich, dark tone to it and there's all kinds of waves and rainbows and curliness in it. Nobody can produce that but nature."

I’ve had a liking for wood ever since I was a little guy

"I find wood so interesting, from the many ribbons, and birdseye spots, to the undulating colors dues to varying levels of moisture and mineral content in the soil."

Every tree has a history

"Imagine cutting a tree to find lead slugs from rifle target practice or rusty nails from an old tree house and, by counting the rings to the raw edge, knowing that 40 years ago, some kids were playing in this tree. It's fascinating."
