I love giving old pieces a new life, whether it's wood, tools, or other objects. For me, it's about more than just making something; it's about pushing back against the "buy-and-replace" culture and the constant push for endless growth and profit that surrounds us.

My process is laid-back and embraces my ADHD. I find a flow when working with my hands, and this often means that mistakes become part of the journey. You'll see where I've patched something with a Dutchman (a traditional woodworking repair) or a tool mark that wasn't perfectly straight. These aren't flaws; they're the story of how the piece came to be. It's my way of being honest and showing that something doesn't need to be "perfect" to be beautiful, functional, and long-lasting. To me, it feels foolish to seek flawless uniformity in natural materials like wood, stone, or cast metals. My work won't suggest to a tree that it grew wrong, nor will it erase the marks of a tool's well-used past.

If you're looking for mass-produced, flawless items, there are many options made from plastic or engineered materials designed to look "perfect." There's nothing wrong with wanting that, but it's not what I do.

I want my work to honor the natural world and the history of each piece. I believe an object's true worth lies in its ability to enrich your life, not just the money exchanged for it.

If you're seeking a unique, meaningful piece that tells a story and aligns with these values, I invite you to reach out. Let's create something truly special together.
