The different types of wood I use are old growth dead wood such as Black Walnut, Juniper, Cedar, Maple, etc., which have been recycled to create Custom Handcrafted Wood Furniture. My background as a wood artisan is a self-taught craft. I first discovered my passion for wood work when I visited the Redwood Forrest in Northern California in my early 20’s. This began my love and passion for working with wood which evolved into creating Custom Handcrafted Wood Furniture full-time. My philosophy is that wood is an intricate part of life in all man-kind and with using recycled wood, I give the opportunity to bring life back to the tree. In doing so, I strive to bring joy and satisfaction to people through my custom wood creations. My greatest joy is to have others appreciate just how beautiful wood can not only be in the natural elements, but also when man and wood are brought together and bring life to the tree once again. I view this as the complete cycle of life for the tree.
