• About me

  Hand turned functional art.
  Exotic woods, and other material inspired by nature, are turned to a purpose as fine writing instruments, bottle stoppers, bowls, pepper mills and other works of art.

  Each piece is meticulously hand-crafted to delight the hand and the eyes.

  Don't see exactly what you want? Let me know, I'm happy to do custom work including keepsakes from material you provide.

  How I Got Here

  I am fascinated by the grand works of art created by “Mother Nature” and enjoy turning nature’s art to a human purpose. In particular, I enjoy the warmth and figure of real wood, and started wood-turning a number of years ago. I delight in the beauty revealed as an apparently non-descript piece of wood is turned and polished.

  From wood turning, I started working with other natural materials such as bone, antler, and stone that have similar “accidental beauty”. Now I look for the hidden beauty in anything, natural or man-made, that can be turned to a purpose and to a pleasing experience for the eyes and hands.
