A piece from 1996….early in my journey. “New life for grandma’s walnut tree”. This piece started with a walnut tree from my grandmother’s yard that was cut down while I lived on philadelphia. I drove home on the weekend to rescue the main trunk and store it in a garage were it remained for the next decade or so till I moved back to ligonier and took the log to Rich Piper’s sawmill where it was cut into boards. I have selectively used those boards for family projects over the years and still have a few left. The top on this piece was one of them. The sculptural piece in the center was me working with a “defect” in the slab to incorporate it into the design. Although an early piece this credenza still reflects my passion for this living material and how the beauty of nature has influenced my design philosophy and life.

A nice article about the Aron Kodesh(holy cabinet) we recently completed for a Jewish teen camp…..Camp Tel Yehdea in NY. My woodworking journey has taken me many fascinating places and this was no exception. A spiritual journey of the heart and soul.

So nice to receive a heart felt thank you and photos from a client that purchased one of my artsy boxes on Fort Days and took it to Japan as a gift to a maker over there. I love it. That smile and joy of the recipient means everything and says it all. Thank You❤️

Finally got around to cutting a large oak burl. This is only half. Can’t wait to dry this one and see what it wants to be.

Hand dovetailing the case for our latest commission. The case is over 27” wide so wood movement will play a huge factor in the design and construction of the piece. The sides are almost 2” thick as they will be sculpted and shaped in the final piece. Mandy will be incorporating some stained glass and mosaics in the case as well .Follow us as we take you through this exciting journey of our “Aron”project ❤️
