A view of the studio


This shot was taken during the construction of a pair of fireplace mantle covers for a home in the Granville Rise area of Vancouver. The dominant wood used in these pieces is paduk, an incredibly bright orange wood.

As you can see, I've amassed quite a large collection of antique and collectable hand tools, many of which I still use.
