My
work with wood stems from an attaction to the look, the feel,
and even the smell of this nfinitely varied and renewable natiural
resource. Creating furniture and other objects allows me to
express my approach to design---simplicity of line and material,
integrity of construction and attention to function. My focus
is on combining native timbers, often incorporating more exotic
accent materials, with traditional joinery to produce unique
contemporary furniture as well as modern adaptations for more
classic styles.
I
accept commissions to build my own designs or to interpret the
requirements of my clients and also produce a range of chests,
boxes and other small pieces. In all my work, I try to employ
timber from sustainable sources as well as natural non-tox finishes.
