Working with wood has been a passion of mine most of my life and in the late 1990's I discovered the excitement of turning wood on a lathe.  Woodturning has always fascinated me especially the meticulous art of segmented work.  Segmenting is what I started doing but found I wanted to spend more time on the lathe so I took up making many objects out of solid pieces of wood.

Most of my work is turned from found or reclaimed Northwest hardwoods and I enjoy bringing out the natural color and texture these woods present.  A special interest of mine is to collect and create things from woods that would normally be chipped up and used for land fill or burned.  This avenue of resources is unlimited and a great way to turn what might be considered unusable wood from a commercial viewpoint into functional and artistic pieces that can be enjoyed for generations.

I take pleasure turning wood into useful and decorative pieces.  My work includes very practical kitchen and garden items such as spatulas, scoops, bowls, spurtles, dibbles as well as attractive and eye catching display pieces for both inside and outside the house.
