I love carving wood and creating items of simple beauty. Much of what I carve is directly related to spirituality and themes of life and love as can be seen in my chotkis and claddagh items. My great hope is that the items I carve and create will bring a simple moment of joy to those who honor me with their business.

My favorite woods to work with are Black Walnut, Hickory, Oak, and wood from various fruit trees such as cherry and apple wood as well as the many beautiful exotic woods available.

I look forward to hearing from you and learning of the "treasures and keepsakes" I can create for you and your loved ones. Thanks for stopping by…
