About

I owe much of my basic woodworking from my step grandfather. He owned Daytona Beach Millworks and had a workshop in Astor, Florida. When I was growing up, I used to visit him and he would let me work beside him. He, like me, was left handed which gave me the fundamental lessons on safety and tool operation from a lefty’s point of view.

What I lack in his blood DNA is overflowed with his spiritual DNA that keeps me building arts of wood that are one of a kind. Thanks Earl!!!

I started building projects that I needed for my own use around the house. As I continued working with wood, my love for it grew bigger and started producing pieces of furniture art solely visualized in my mind.  The blueprint of what I wanted embedded in the brain and all I have to do now is build it.

My collection of this furniture art is looking for a good home.  I have an accumulation of “one of a kind” wood furniture/art that is functional and creates a unique statement.

First, I get inspired by a piece of wood and then create a way to incorporate other forms of art.  I try to use non-native wood, whenever possible. This is my attempt to help Florida rid unwanted species and create a use for them. (see my current wood inventory for exact species).  What I do, I create one of a kind furniture/art that is in my head.

What I don’t do, I don’t build custom pieces that you have a visual for.    It is too difficult to have your idea transferred over to my visual brain blueprint and the outcome would not be the same.  I build custom pieces that are blueprinted in my creative mind and go from there as I grab a chunk of wood and create the arts of work.

If you like what you see, there is a price beside the piece. Feel free to ask any questions.

Thanks for visiting the Southern Carpenter!
