About
I am a passionate wood craftsman with a creative streak. I look forward to my next project.
My Style
My work style is nature inspired, using aesthetic shapes to create a sense of peace and a pleasing emotion.
Style Details
I use high quality wood with as many curves and live edges as possible, vivid wood colour variations and natural features such as organic shapes, occasional well placed knots and epoxy filled natural cracks where appropriate.
Finishes
The finishes are oil based that allow the wood to breath, avoiding warping and peeling, while minimizing upkeep.
Food contact surfaces are finished with Ligna Bio-Supra Natural Finish, which is an Italian made product distributed in Canada by a Quebec company.
An excellent product for non-food contact surfaces is Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C. Oil Plus is a revolutionary, plant-based, hard wax oil wood finish. Oil Plus 2C works by forming a molecular bond with the topmost fibres of the wood. It is a Swedish product with very good durability.
Another good product for non-food surfaces such as furniture is Osmo Wood Wax Clear Extra Thin. It is extremely durable and hard-wearing – will not crack, flake or peel. It is made from renewable raw materials – soybean, sunflower, thistle oil, and carnauba and candelilla. The product line has many choices for appearance and gloss.
Whether you’re looking for something for the kitchen like an end grain cutting board or a unique charcuterie board, a unique piece of furniture, or you might have a custom need, I can bring your vision to life.
