Wood has always been a favorite materials to use and to own. I love its warmth, strength and its feel to the touch.  I like its smell.   With so many things now manufactured in plastic that can so accurately mimic the look of wood, I tend to value the less-finished pieces more for their honesty.   When I work a piece I tend to leave a couple of random tool marks here or there just to ensure the viewer can be certain they're looking at a genuinely hand-made object of wood.   I love it because it's something that hasn't been mass-produced.  It's the only one of its kind -- not stamped, molded, painted or imprinted.  

You may hire me to make a unique gift.  Why not give a thing that was made expressly for the person you want to surprise?  Imagine giving a personal gift like this to observe a special anniversary, birthday, wedding, or special day? 

Think of someone that you love.  Which would they value more highly in the years to come; a toaster, or a bread board inscribed with a special date or quotation?

So now that you have that idea, I'd like you to call me or send me an email and tell me what you have in mind.  My job is turning things like these into reality.
