About Me:

I am an a sculptor/carver who works primarily in stone and bronze to create fine art. The sculpture posted as my profile photo is my signature piece and is made out of a 200 pound block of BC Sepentine. I also do bas relief plaque work that can be had in stone or bronze and inset into a fireplace wall below the mantle and above the firepit opening. Website: Being constructed!

Favorite area of home improvement:

Building furniture, refinishing items, painting, mixing my own paints ( off tints, returns and failed matches are so inexpensive and well worth the brief time to mix);. using recycled wood and hardware wherever possible and decorating are my favourite aspects of home improvement. One last thing that I enjoy is the researching I do for a project.

  • The thorn in my side 2
