Artist Statement

I have been a carpenter and woodworker for over 30 years. In previous years I was a juried woodworker at the Haddonfield show, where I made Side tables and breadboards. Now I am making
small wooden boxes and serving trays. All items are handmade by me with a minimum machining and a lot of hand work. Each box is unique, no two are the same and are finished with a different handle, and wood finish. All boxes are finished with nontoxic materials,hand rubbed with beeswax.
