Maker in San Diego, CaliforniaMeet the maker
When I built a maple shadow box, the flag and keepsakes shaped the layout of the frame. A dining table starts with how many people need a seat. I like figuring out those details and seeing how they shape the piece.
That’s what I enjoy about having a small shop. I can spend one day fitting a table base and the next cutting shingles for a bird feeder. If you have something in mind, tell me a little about where it’ll go and how you want to use it.
