Over my entire adolescent and adult life, I have been collecting machinery and materials in order to have my own shop. For a while, I was working out of a shop not my own. This arrangement was not the best and I needed my own space to use my own tools. After a lifetime of saving, as I am a teacher, I was finally able to build my own 24' x 40' woodworking shop. It was big enough to hold my tooling and some materials but I had harvested around 10 large trees and milled into live edge slabs that also needed protection, so the following spring I built an 18'x 30' addition to store some of the materials I had collected. A couple years later, I was able to add another addition (10' x 32') to finally complete. I believe that I now have the room needed to do the work I wish to do.

Most pieces I sell, started with my cutting an unwanted, diseased or fallen tree. I will then mill it, cure it, machine it, assemble it, finish promote etc... I am 100% responsible for every step of the process; therefore, I am 100% in control of the products QUALITY. Being a teacher, I have lots of patience and can wait for my materials to Air dry, which is superior to kiln drying. I don't rush projects to shove them out. I will take my time since my name is theoretically attached to every piece I make. I say theoretically, because I don't sign, date, give a number to or mark any piece in any way. I don't care if people know who made it, I just want them to appreciate it for what it is, not the maker.

I have been teaching Manufacturing over the past six years and running a CNC Plasma cutter during that time. Everyone Loves the pieces I make, so it was a no brainer to expand into that realm. It was a matter of being able to afford the tooling. Now that I have it, I can create so many new Custom items for people to enjoy!


I hope that you can appreciate the pieces that I make and enjoy them for the time they are with you!
