the Artist
bio
I am a woodworker. Growing up in south-central Pennsylvania, I was always connected to construction, woodworking, and building with my hands. When I discovered green woodworking in 2017 I was hooked.
process
I use locally sourced wood salvaged from folks removing trees around my neighborhood. I use very few power tools, preferring to shape and carve by hand. Working the wood while green makes this easier to do. Trees are cut and split using a saw and wedges. The split sections are then formed using a carving axe, sloyd knife, and spoon knife.
