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.

Custom Order 2" thick walnut magnetic knife rack.

This customer found me on etsy and needed a knife rack that was 2" thick due to some molding(wood trim) in her kitchen area that was a limiting factor for my 1 inch thick model. I created this by first cutting a thin veneer from the front of the block, then cut my channel for magnets from the new front
and glued the veneer over top once the blocking and magnets were in.





Custom Order Live Edge Kitchen Table and shelving in Spalted Maple.

Custom designed live edge kitchen table, 36x36x36, taking this picture framing concept to the next level.
The customer was flipping out when I delivered it, in a good way!

Custom Desk in Reclaimed Doug Fir

I made this piece custom for myself. as the doorway to get upstairs in our weird old building is only 22.5 inches wide. It kind of limits furniture options, but I really needed a desk and workspace up here. All the hardware is reused and free to me, as was the wood. You just have to be in the right place at the right time.
