I make Windsor chairs using a blend of contemporary and traditional techniques.  I also carve wooden utensils using traditional Slojd processes. 
Working with green wood and hand tools allows my handmade chairs and woodenware to appear and feel "light" and "delicate" yet maintain the strength of a tree.  These methods are sound and sustainable because they require minimal electricity, they honor the integrity of a tree, they create byproducts that are easily recycled, and they produce an heirloom quality product that will last for generations.
