From a youngster in my grandfather’s shop, I have always had an interest in wood, making items as needed for myself and family. Upon retirement and with no professional design or artistic training, I’ve spent the last four years honing my skills and expanding my capabilities. I use both proven designs as well as my imagination to create uniquely designed cutting boards, charcuterie boards, trivets, coasters and key racks using up to 15 different species of domestic and exotic hardwoods.
My work has been shown in the Blue Skies Gallery in Hampton, VA for the past three years, where I’ve been told they are the second most sought after items in the gallery. I have also responded to customer requests for unique custom made items.
