It’s like magic to me the transformation that occurs when a tree is honoured by creating a piece of lasting beauty from its wood.

I prefer to use solid wood for furniture rather than veneered plywood. Solid wood has a richer feeling and a harmonic essence. It is a joy to work with the grain of each individual piece of wood, responding to its structure and at the same time coaxing it into a certain form.

I was really happy with the kitchen sideboard – especially the deep brown and purple grain of the wood once the finish was applied. The wine rack and lower shelf space were requested by the client to reflect their needs and aesthetic. I love taking an idea and creating custom pieces that really suit the people and the style of space they are living in.
