After years of fulfilling my passion for solving problems by working with small businesses, I decided to combine that passion with my love of wood and metal work. Through Orewood Solutions, LLC I help people solve problems like, what to do with their old stuff they refuse to get rid of and how to meet specific needs in their homes. Whether it be a mobile kitchen cart out of an old utility cart, or a coffee table out of the old family tree, I love bringing new life to old materials and creating cherished pieces with old world craftsmanship that can be cherished and passed down for generations.
