A sculptural pale driftwood table

Selected work / 01

Work,
in the open.

Material, process, decisions, and finish—shown without pretending.

A table shaped by the slab, not forced onto it.

This small body of photographs documents a real piece in progress and after completion. It is a useful example of how the work is approached, not a claim that every project should look the same.

Work with what the material gives you.

01 / Process

Work with what the material gives you.

The shape, grain, existing marks, and practical use all influence what the piece becomes. The work starts by paying attention.

Resolve the piece without sanding away its character.

02 / Finish

Resolve the piece without sanding away its character.

The finished table keeps the visual life of the slab while gaining a clear structure, usable surface, and grounded stance.

Detail / surface

The part you notice after the first look matters most.

Joinery, edges, texture, proportion, and the relationship between an object and its room are where a piece earns its keep.

These are completed or in-progress projects documented in the field. Each one reflects the same approach as the workshop work: understand the need, protect the space, and leave the result ready for real life.

About the portfolio

A growing record of work that can be shown honestly.

The portfolio now includes workshop craft and recent home-service work. More will be added when it can be documented clearly and with context.
