Function:

I am a visual artist and woodworker creating functional and character filled furniture and accessories using the many techniques I have accumulated over the years. I received my BFA in 1998 and have since done fine art, finish carpentry, cabinet installation, and faux finishing. I have been doing original furniture design and custom woodwork since 2010.
My goal and purpose is to combine these elements and skills to make functional beautiful furniture that is inviting as well as aesthetically pleasing.

Driftwood Red Oak Bench. $295.00.

A gorgeous combo of art and functionality. All made from the same piece of oak, harvested by me and slow dried for over a year. The legging joints are double mortise and tenon with compound notch, all carved from the existing wood, no dowel rods, no buscuits, no screws. Just handcrafted joints and glue. 60x12 x 18 high, sealed with oil based polyurethane.






Custom Order Live Edge Walnut Credenza. The process, the diligence, the love of wood!





















The creation of wooden art, a custom order live edge Oregon Myrtle and driftwood bookcase.

A ton of work and love went into this piece, my customer works on a crab boat in Alaska during the winters, this summer he is spending his hard earned loot on custom furniture, he loves my style, and when I came up with this design, he was all about it.
