Shop Poems

I'm a cabinetmaker by trade, writer by night, and passionate nerd about wood science and the environment. I mainly sell bentwood Shaker boxes and handmade wooden book rests, and my love of trees inspires my process—I only work with wood remnants or salvage that would otherwise be wasted or burned for firewood, and I build my items through wood-bending and gouge-carving, two very traditional crafts that require a deep understanding of and connection with the material. I also take commissions for custom furniture and repair work.
