I am an artisan green woodworker based in Stoughton Wisconsin who specializes in creating beautiful and functional everyday items with hand tools and on a foot-powered spring pole lathe. The wood I use is freshly felled, by arborists or storms, which has softer fibers that can be shaped effectively with hand tools. The nature of the freshly cut material is what gives this form of carpentry the name “green woodworking.” All of my work is produced with great attention to workmanship and respect to the environment.
