About
I create wooden bowls, hollow vessels, and platters from domestic hardwoods. Working with green wood, I mount the material on a lathe and create rough forms which are set aside to air dry. After several months of drying, I remount the piece and refine the shape making the form thinner and balanced.
As a woodturner and an outdoor enthusiast, Iām often inspired by natural elements and am amazed by what nature provides in downed trees. I like to think that I give a dying or dead tree new life by repurposing it into a fresh turning.
