Almost every year as a young boy, I would carve my parents’ birthday and Christmas presents out of firewood on summer camping trips.
At around the age of 8, my dad bought me a simple carving tool set, and I would carve out little canoes that looked exactly the same as our Greenwood cedar and canvas canoe, or so I thought. I have loved the smells, the grain and the texture from that time on.
I work on my own and generally work on single projects at a time. I have made all kinds of furniture and have done a plethora of different types of woodworking projects. Wild edge bed frames, coopered front cabinets, skin on frame kayaks, rolling wine-racks, solid wood doors – almost anything you can think of. I do not use any sheet goods (plywood etc) in my furniture work.
