My love for wood began at a very young age.
My father had a love for wood and was often making something in his shop. I would often go and work on projects with him.
I was five years old.
My father was specializing in trim and stair work by the time I was old enough to go on the job with him. I spent my summers working with my father ‘on the job’.
Since he worked for different builders I was able to see the different styles through my years.
In fact the jobs grew bigger, the house molders and wood accents became more detailed and soon I realized there was incredible varieties and flavors around me.
Whether it was a rustic barn door, a wine cellar, a furniture grade master closet or study room, a Brazilian library or sunna room the unique styles with all the individual taste just kept growing on me.
In my thirties I realized that all the different unique flavors that spoke to me came from the wood grown in nature. So I turned my attention to nature for the learning.
With my sawmill and my solar drying building I began cutting and drying wood. I found that the uniqueness was right there in front of me. If I just manage the resources properly.
Why waste the sun’s natural light and heat?
I knew that solar lemon tea was better than boiled tea.
And the wood – why fight with it when you can just let it speak to you about its beauty?
