Rustic life started for me
about 5 years ago, coinciding with my move from Indiana to Upstate New York.
A day trip to the Adirondacks uncovered a multitude of talented artisans in
rustic craft and from that moment on, I was hooked. I began to experiment with
different materials and soon found myself liking the look and feel of hickory
and hard maple. I am fortunate enough to have access to woods that are
overpopulated with both. All of my materials are live cut and I use this as a
tool for responsible timber stand management. Trees that are taken are in
suppressed stages of growth because they grow in the under-story of larger
trees. Removal of these trees benefits the remaining trees by reducing
competition for water and nutrients and in turn benefits us by producing tight
grained strong wood for beautiful furniture.
