ABOUT THE ART
Charcuterie & Cutting Boards
Over the years, I continued to design and build furniture and most recently started designing and creating charcuterie and cutting boards. The amount of pride I take in creating each board to make it as perfect as possible is what makes every board so unique. Every board is an extended piece of myself. If it is not good enough to put in my own home, then it is not good enough to sell. This is who I am as a designer and what I believe in.
These boards are perfect for housewarming gifts and wedding presents. From friends to family these one-of-a-kind boards will quickly become “Art for your table.”
Every board is a handcrafted piece of art. I hand pick my own wood always containing highly figured grain which could be curly, quilted, spalted, burl, fiddleback, flame, crotch. Each piece is like a fingerprint, you will never see that exact piece of wood again.
While creating different types of boards, I have also created my own oil and wax that will help each individual board stay looking new after continuous use. They will help maintain the color and grain of each board keeping them looking like new.
Furniture
Early on in my career, I only used joinery to build furniture, but after working with so many other materials and various ways to assemble products, I have been designing and creating pieces that combine both. Besides looking like a piece of art, everything I build must be functional. The functionality of every piece is just as important as the combination of materials and finish.
TABLES: COMING SOON! Two tables are currently in the works and will be posted in the shop soon!
Art for Your Walls & Tables
Since the very beginning, I have always been drawing/doodling ideas for artsy/ sculpted pieces down on paper or a napkin if the idea came up. Finally, I can use my creativity and materials to bring these pieces to fruition by using all my years of experience with different techniques and tools.
