Wooden Bowls — handcrafted in a range of shapes, sizes, and wood species

Artist’s Statement

Working with wood has always been a passion of mine. Around 1997, I started a timber-frame business. Doing the joinery for each frame after sawing the logs on my sawmill was very enjoyable work. This led to all sorts of woodworking including building kitchen cabinets and furniture.

Working on a lathe is a recent hobby, I started less than a year ago inspired by two friends, Frank Bioteau and the late Greg Doane. It amazes me how I can turn scrap pieces of wood into something so beautiful that might have previously gone into the wood stove. Every bowl is unique, determined by the wood that is turned.
