Thank you for visiting! I make commission & personal, functional art with wood and metal including: furniture, architectural accents, lighting and structural steel.
I use wood from trees that come down where I live in Charlotte, NC. Instead of buying wood from lumber dealers, I haul logs to two friends, Bryan & Chad, who saw them into lumber for my use. Each piece of furniture I make has "Instant Provenance" because we know the story & location of its source tree.
I enjoy incorporating steel, aluminum, brass & copper into my pieces via TIG & MIG welding, machining on my lathe & vertical mill, riveting, rolling and hand-sculpting.
Finally, I repurpose obsolete industrial factory items such as electrical control cabinets, lights, stools, carts and old butcher block workbench tops into useful home accents. These are items you've always wanted, but can never find in stores because I make them by hand, one at a time.
