Website:

I began woodworking at 12 years old, working for my dad in his shutter shop. I started building my own furniture shortly thereafter. What a learning process (which has not ended yet!) I have had some great mentors over the years, including a craftsman next door to our shop who did custom furniture and another who did furniture refinishing. I had a furniture finishing business for a few years, starting when I was still in high school. I went on to run my own raised panel door shop and recently opened a woodworking tool store . My son runs the shop and my son-in-law runs me at the store. I have been fascinated by so many of the projects on lumberjocks, and hope I too can contribute. Several of my recent projects have been inspired by this website.

Welcome to Lumberjocks. The projects are an inspiration, the information is priceless and the people are supportive. The only problem is, the site can get addictive.

God Bless
