I should probably say that this is not a traditional portfolio. I think of it more like a diary of the work I do. Every project teaches me something, and I like to keep a record of the whole journey, not just the final piece that ends up on the wall or in somebody's jewelry box.

​

Here you’ll see the rough cuts, the early sketches, the moments when something finally “clicks,” and even the parts where things didn’t go as planned. I always felt that the process is just as important as the finished work. It shows the choices, the mistakes, the problem-solving, and the small victories that happen along the way.

​

When friends visit my studio, I usually end up telling stories about the projects and how a particular piece of wood surprised me, how a metal inlay fought back, how a carving took a completely different direction than I expected.

 

This page is my way of sharing those moments with you.

If you look through the projects here, you’ll get a sense of how I work and how each piece grows from an idea into something real. It’s not perfect and it’s not polished on purpose. It’s honest. It’s the day-to-day record of a craftsman who loves the materials, the tools, and the slow, steady process of bringing something to life.
