When I moved into a condo in 1999 I quickly realized
two things. First, that I had more rooms then pieces
of furniture and second, nice furniture is very
expensive. After attempts to purchase furniture
at American TV and then Steinhafels failed, I decided
to take a woodworking class through the UW
Mini Courses and create my own.
So far I've made a game table, coffee table, and
end table, all made of red oak.

As an aside, I purchased all my Red Oak and a lot
of other supplies at Workbench Tool Company in Madison.
They have a good selection, fair prices and are
happy to help you out - even when you ask them to
move 13 pallets for one board because it speaks
to you. =]

My other creative outlet is photography. From a
technical standpoint my shooting skills have suffered
a bit, but I still really enjoy developing and printing,
particularly black and white. My latest kick is
trees, so I've included several below. For more
photos, you can check out the rest of this site
(they were all taken by me unless otherwise noted)
or if you'd just like to see the good ones, go to
the photo section
of my portfolio. As usual, clicking on the thumbnail
will get you a full-size view of the image.

An olive tree in Corfu, Greece. While there, I
developed a fondness for things carved out of olive
wood... it's considered very valuable because the
tree naturally has so many holes it's difficult
to get a solid piece of wood.
