Functional art from wood.Working with wood is an exciting adventure that is renewed with each project. The search for the wood and what it will reveal. The many surprises that unfold before you while cutting and working the wood. The challenge of trying to incorporate what nature has presented you with. Each of these are part of what keeps the passion alive.I have had a fascination with wood since I was a boy, working by my Grandfather's side and it never seems to change. There is something so pleasurable about the evolution of a woodworking project that it is hard to describe. It is not only visual and tactile, working with the wood plays with all the senses.
