Welcome!

I believe that each of us is endowed with a font of creative energy. If we are lucky we find both an outlet for that energy and the time and means to create. For the past ten years or so I have been designing and building furniture and other things from wood. I think I have some aptitude for it, and like anything, practice has improved my skills. I really don’t know how my work stacks up with what else is out there – what I do know is that I thoroughly enjoy the entire process – from conceptual design, the trigonometry most of us forgot before high school graduation, joinery, and finishing. Wood is a complex substance with a wonderful spectrum of scents, feel, and looks, and I derive great satisfaction from working with it to create objects that are functional, durable, and pleasing to the eye and touch - to me it is the perfect blend of the aesthetic and the practical. I set this blog up to allow my family and friends to see some of what I have done from across the thousands of miles that may separate us. Comments are always appreciated.

A New Website!

Wow.  It can't be seven years since my last post here, can it?  Needless to say a lot has happened in that time.

I retired in 2013, and in 2015 we left Anchorage and moved to Talkeetna - about 2 hours north.  I now have a shop/studio that's bigger than my house, where I spend most of my time creating my art.

I now have a website www.alaskanwoodworker.wordpress.com where I feature a lot of my work, both recent and older.  Please check it out!
