Turned Drawer Cabinet
I have been tinkering with wood for a long time. Small repairs to furniture projects - some of these seemed to take forever to finish. Back in 2007 I took a class with Graeme Priddle who infected me with the wood turning bug which I seem not able to shake off. I discovered a new world of artistry and craftsmanship and began developing my turning and carving skills.
Natural wood with all its irregularities gets a beautiful symmetrical shape through the work on the lathe. I like to explore that symmetry. Combining options based on character and size of a piece of wood with ideas for practical and useful or just interesting designs I typically begin a process of refinement and exploring possibilities by sketches and dummies. Some projects end just there. In any case I thoroughly enjoy the crafting with wood.
Through an international career in the oil industry I had the chance to live and learn in different cultures in the world gaining experiences that influence my work. My association with the wonderful folks of the Gulf Coast Woodturner Association allowed me to climb further up the technical ladder as well as discover a passion for teaching other wood turners - beginners to advanced and for demonstrating. I have been collaborating with glass mosaic artists in Malaysia and Texas and like to continue the collaboration with other crafts.
Every piece is handcrafted. Enjoy looking at them,
