ABOUT
Woodworking is a craft with a history as long as humanity's story. It's an art that comes from that innate human desire to create; a desire that takes different forms in all of us. I aim to create fine furniture that will stand the test the time, and aim to breath new life into vintage tools and machinery. This is a time-consuming, yet rewarding task.
