About

Wood
Albuquerque, New Mexico
I'm a medically retired/100% disabled veteran who started building practical furniture originally as a child and then again shortly before leaving the military. My love of art and the craft of finely crafted objects and moments had been life long and is deeply inspired by the craftsmanship I observed while stationed in Japan. My furniture is all bespoke, made to order for every client for the solid wood furniture I will interview client and learn a little bit about their story and design items specifically for them and their space, increasing the emotional durability of the goods, which is another part of the sustainability of I strive for in my work.

What does Deep ellum mean to me?

I have deep family roots in North Texas, though I have lived in 13 states and four other countries. I have great grandparents on both sides of my family from this area. While I do not have a direct tie to Deep Ellum, I know the name as a location with a long history of high quality craftsmanship and art, and I am excited at the opportunity to be able to connect to that
