I'm just a man who enjoys creating new and interesting wooden pieces in my little shop under the solar panels.
I have always enjoyed creating things... forts in the woods, wood coasters, arrows, bowls, boxes... In 2008 my parents broke ground on their dream house. They only hired tradesmen who would use me and my brothers as part of the labor force. Through that long (actually, still ongoing) project, I met many, many wonderful, generous and skilled craftsmen. I was taught: block laying, wood framing, electrical, plumbing, insulating, drywall, cabinet building, solar thermal, solar electric... then there were things that I got to learn for myself: land grading and drainage, creating flooring from rough sawn lumber, installing custom trim, painting, being a boss (I'm really bad at that!)... I found that I really enjoy doing things precisely and doing things that other people wouldn't or couldn't: wood inlays, custom magnetic locks, wood overlay, dovetails, 3D carvings. I learned a lot. I want to continue to learn and grow as long as I live. I want to make things that people enjoy. I want to be able to sell products that I love. I want to become good enough to live in the middle of nowhere and sell my creations everywhere! In May of 2017 I opened my Etsy shop. It has been a great way to connect my passion for wood with you, the customer, but you aren't really just a customer to me, you are a person. Your value is the same as mine. I don't want to cheat you or sell you something that you don't want. I want to be a honest man and to treat you like you were a friend of mine. I guess that's my story.
