Then, the whole piece goes back into the fire. The heat and flames dictate the final shape. Pieces are finished with dry-food safe oils and waxes. Tray has a small solid brass of half-sphere accent. Made from various types of wood; can be a totem, centerpiece, or wall hanging.

I have been playing with wood since I was about six, and enjoy it now as much as I did then. I find motivation and inspiration in almost everything around me, whether it's a fallen piece of timber in the forest, the shape and movement of a running animal, or the intimate details of an old building. Inspiration is everywhere. Every day is a treasure hunt. My hope is that my work instills a sense of calm and ease; we could all use a little more of both.
