I believe that every piece of wood has a soul and a story to be told.  The wood has a spiritual connection with nature and us.  Using the years of experience in woodworking and artistry, I pour my heart into a relationship with each peice. One never knows exactly what beauty the tree will give us.

The wood is locally sourced from fallen or horticulturally managed trees in New England.  It often comes from my property or  the neighborhood. Trees that are broken or distressed often produce the most beautiful wood. The ones that have had the hardest life have the most beauty.

The process of chain sawing trees into logs, band sawing logs into bowl blanks, kiln drying wood from 35% to 8% water content, twice-turning bowl blanks into bowls, sanding and finishing (with any or all of the following- carving, burning, painting, oiling, waxing) is a process followed that spans a year or two for each bowl.  All my work uses food safe oils and waxed unless otherwise specified not so. Epoxy and CA glue are not food safe and are used for display only peices. I do this because I like to make art that people will use.

My workshop is a magical place where traditional techniques meet playful creativity, resulting in stunning craftsmanship that captures the essence of nature and our connections with the trees.  Join us in celebrating the wonderful and spiritual world of wood!
