I started woodworking at an early age
drawing inspiration from the forest around our Adirondack camp. There, I
would spend many hours in my father’s shop creating many things out of
wood. Later, while living in New England, I was exposed to many furniture
styles, most notably Shaker furniture, widely admired for its timeless
designs, clean lines, functionality and solid joinery. I always strive to
incorporate this same quality into my own work.
I have been selling my work for over
twenty years in gift shops around New England and the Adirondacks, and
more recently The Artworks here in Old Forge.
I also build custom furniture and
cabinetry using native hardwoods such as cherry, maple and ash. I always
take the extra time to hand-select wood in order to match grain and color
to complement the design of each piece.
My goal has always been to build
something that will be enjoyed and valued today, and hopefully treasured
as an antique tomorrow.
