"New Twist," Mahogany with ebony handles
|
From boat building on the east coast to cabinet making in Alaska, with time out to do some commercial fishing, I chose the field of woodworking and started my formal training in the craft of furniture making in 1984. I first studied under the eye of David Powell, who himself was trained by Edward Barnsly, one of the founders of the British Arts and Crafts movement. Traditional joinery and construction technique in combination with a more modern design emphasis were a high priority in my learning experience. I then transferred to a National recognized furniture maker, Wendall Castle in Scottsville, New York. There, the push for creative design was never to outweigh integrity and quality.
