In 2019 I was introduced to the world of green woodworking, and took a keen interest in bowl turning on a pole-lathe. Working with wood that has a high moisture content, a foot-powered pole lathe allows the user to turn a variety of woodenwares such as bowls, plates, and cups. I was captivated by the ability to make simple, beautiful, functional items with simply human-power and sharp tools. Considering the environmental cost of the material excess in our world today, I take great pride in producing products in a slow, mindful manner that are mean't to last a lifetime.
I am currently residing in Charlottesville, Virginia, where I am continuing to practice within the world of green woodworking.
I am happy to share my creations with you, and hope that you find something that you love, can use, and will cherish for many years.
All the best
