PROCESS INFORMATION

We create tools that work on both a functional and an aesthetic level.

We use mainly hardwoods, some purchased, some foraged. Our sources

are as diverse as the species we work with. Each tree has its own unique
qualities that result in a one-of-a-kind object.

Mike uses a band-saw and pneumatic drum sanders to shape most

of the pieces. When creating the free-form bowls and ladles, he uses
spoon gouges and a mallet to hollow out the form.

Roz uses a rotating flap-wheel sander to smooth each piece and begin

the finishing process. An FDA approved food-safe oil is applied between
the 220, 320 & 400 grit sandings. The result of many hand and power sandings
is a smooth durable treasure suitable for everyday use and enjoyment.

The beauty and diversity of hardwoods continue to challenge our skills and

influence our ever-evolving work.

Our work was included in the “Objects for use/Handmade by Design” book

and the 2001 exhibit at the American Craft Museum, N.Y., N.Y.

We are also members of the IWCS (International Wood Collectors Society)
