Where did you
learn your skills?
Initially, I was self taught, when I became serious,
I apprenticed under a great woodworker. The skills
taught by patient mentors bring great gain, and as
such, I have taken to teaching a few promising young
men the skills they need to become great craftsmen. |
Where do you get
your inspiration from?
Mostly from service to the LORD, I feel a deep
appreciation for the fact that the chosen skill of
Jesus was one of creation during his short 33 years
with us. That being said, I pray about each work,
and endeavor to show as much of the natural gifts
that God has blessed me with in my work. Each piece
is meant to bring honor and glory to God...after
all, that is what I was placed here to do. I strive
to craft creations that give honor to our creator. |
What Furniture
styles/periods do you work in?
Some Mission Style, mostly contemporary and I love
Queen Anne. When the opportunity presents itself, I
will attempt almost anything that is a challenge. |
What differentiates
your work?
I like to think that my work is unique. God created
all mankind, and if we reflect on that for a moment
it's not just the nearly 6 billion people on the
face of the earth, but the compounded accumulation
of mankind throughout history... that's a lot of
people! Each is unique, and the creator knows the
most intimate details of his creation. I enjoy this
microcosm of relation with my woodworking, as I
create each piece, I think about it, and try to
connect with it in some way. For example, I might
pray for the owner, or imagine it bringing someone
great comfort (Like a good piece of furniture, that
"just fits"), then I hope the future owners remember
that it was a Christian carpenter who built it, and
give glory to God. |
