About the artist in his own words:

My process involves laminating various hardwood lumber, natural veneers, and dyed veneers into a solid block, or billet. The box-making techniques I use are adaptations of basic band saw box production that have been popularized in the last 50 years. I like to think that I have added a few twists of my own.

I strive to accentuate the visual elements of color and contrast in my work, while maintaining the integrity of wood as a material. The colors you view on my website, and in all my work, will be 95% natural hardwood colors. You will see only a few dyed veneers, allowing me to broaden the color pallet. The dyed veneers are produced in Europe from thin slices of naturally light species of wood, which are vat-dyed to colors not occurring in natural wood.
