I try to convey a feeling of grace and elegance with my work.  I love the richness of wood grain and delight in displaying it so others can also appreciate its beauty. While I find perfection admirable, for me it is the siren song leading to being safe, so I strive most of all for excellence.  I utilize my background in engineering to facilitate executing difficult projects, but the technology is always subservient to communicating a feeling or an idea.  For me, working in my shop a joyful experience.  I hope that this joy is communicated to those who acquire my work, and that they share in it.
