Materials: Over 170 types and colors
In my work I use all natural products. The only man-made items are the 11-layer craft birch plywood, water-based wood glue, and metal hangers. Otherwise, I use 100% natural wood and its intrinsic beauty. My collection is over 170 different types and colors of wood. All of my wall hangings are finished only with Danish oil (boiled linseed oil) with a Carnauba wax hard coat finish. My utilitarian works (coasters, trivets, hot plates and jewelry) are top coated with water-based polyurethane instead of Carnauba wax. I use no stains, paint, or any other artificial coloring to bring about the beauty in my work.
Composition
Most of my designs are from modified quilt patterns as well as my own and my wife’s designs. She is a quilter and my inspiration in what I do. I also make non-geometric compositions from other sources. These pieces are made with a scroll saw.
