Richard’s love of woodworking started when he cleared diseased trees from his backyard and wanted to use the lumber in a meaningful way. While working on larger projects like flooring and furniture he admired the natural beauty of wood grain and wanted to find more ways to use the precious resource of salvaged wood. He learned the craft of woodturning which opened a whole new world of possibilities. Richard specializes in turned bowls and vessels as well as decorative boxes, cutting boards and other specialty items.
