Woods we love and how we use them!
Wood reflects natural variety of the cosmos! The grain patterns, textures, and colors vie with beautiful vistas of landscapes, cloudscapes, sunrises and sunsets as reflections of nature's beauty. We feel fortunate and grateful that we have chosen wood as our medium. Not all woods are appropriate for all uses. Phil & I make a variety of things, and choose from our palette of species with care when making an item from wood. We have included here the common name, the scientific name, and very general ways we use the various woods.
This page is a work in progress, but full of sample pictures of woods in our workshop. Every piece of wood is unique, so the pictures are "Examples" and representative of the woods we use. If you don't see a sample picture here of a wood species you are interested in - email us, and we will look into the nooks and crannies and see if we have a piece... You never know!
Please remember that every piece of wood is different. We try to show representative samples of wood, but there are always color and grain differences!
