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 Magnetic Knife Racks.

I have been making this knife rack design for I guess almost ten years now, though that seems hard to believe to me. It's strange how the older you get, the faster time seems to pass. These are primarily built from western walnut, but I like to throw a few Oregon Myrtle in there for good measure. This order is headed to a knife shop in San Francisco, called Bernal Cutlery. They have a fabulous selection of knives from all over the world, but I think their primary focus has been Japanese Steel. Still looking for a shop here in Portland who can move bulk like the SF shop does, I tried the guy on Hawthorne, but he didn't have funds to do an up front payment. That's the problem with Portland, everybody is cheap. There, I said it. You happy now:)? I will likely put some of these up on the Etsy soon, I just moved into my own shop space, so a renewal is in order.

Handmade wooden longboards!

Getting up and in to some production on these longboards, I've learned an immense amount in the last two months, and have been field testing my designs personally. I feel like the ones coming out are tip top performance wise, and most certainly beautiful wood wise;)
