"I enjoy
working with
my hands and
trying different
things.

I try to experiment
and  incorporate
metalwork into my
wood turnings.

Most wood
turners do not
create their
own metalwork
for use in their
turnings.

In this respect
I believe my
work is
unique."
"I got started in
wood turning
because it looked
like it might be fun
to try.

I find the process
relaxing and it
opens up new
areas to use my
creativity."
"There are times I want to
try my hand at something
different.

This is where the Tiki
carving comes in.

I tried out some new
carving tools to make this
piece.
It was a quick and fun
project to do.

My brother saw it and said
he wanted it.

A few weeks later his  
birthday came around so I
gave it to him.
Wish all birthday gifts were
that easy!"
"Over the years a lot of people
know the kind of work I do and
have asked me to make them
special pieces.

I enjoy doing custom projects
because they can be
challenging and interesting.

A lot of my business is by word
of mouth.

I want every customer to be  
satisfied with what they have
ordered from me.

My work is custom and cannot
be found anywhere else."
