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.

Live edge walnut wine racks. $95.00 each.

Starting to do sets of these depending on what kind of wood I come across, I guess more what profile.

These are made for the more popular narrow neck bottle style, I have noticed a variation factor of up to an eight of an inch, so I guess if you had specific sized bottles you wished to display, I would need to know ahead of time.



Sideboard/ display table made from reclaimed cedar. Sold 9/4/11

I created this table for doing craft shows and have been getting a lot of feedback on the rustic and simple design. I didn't plan it at all, I just built it. I'm fairly certain these could be a production item.

The material for the legs I grabbed out of a pile of scrap wood at the studios I'm working at.

Couldn't resist adding the moss.

Found the cedar planks along this stretch of beach at Kelly Point.
