Repurposed Wood Studio

making hand carved utensils - again from cast-off's scraps and recycled wood - various styles of rolling pins, spoons, rice paddles, wok stirs, and pestles, muddlers, bowls, scoops and tongs. Then people asked for cheese boards and knives. They've been hugely popular! In the last two years I've spent more time on bowl and vase forms: less concerned with what the finished piece would be used for and more focus on bringing out the truest form of that piece of wood. I prefer to work in koa and mango when in Hawaii and pacific yew in Oregon, but find myself experimenting with lots of woods.
