I am a musician with a passion for anything in wood, building and playing the guitar.
I have worked as a treeplanter, carpenter, cabinet builder, artist and musician. What started out as a desire to build one tiny little Parlor guitar in the back room of my studio workshop, quickly took over my whole space, not to mention my life. Guitar parts and sawdust everywhere, washed down with a good dose of country music. I’m in heaven!
Brancusi and George Jones have been my inspiration.
I am a minimalist by nature and like tight, clean lines. No fancy inlays here but rather choice detailing designed to compliment the instrument and speak directly to it’s new owner.
I love to use reclaimed woods that I have salvaged locally. My new line of telecaster guitars, for example, are made from one piece of ancient reclaimed Douglas Fir. No glue line to deal with, just tone and old age.
I do like a good story and I value new client input into their instrument. Guitars should not only play a great tune, but tell a great story.
Interested in having me custom craft your next guitar? I’d love to chat.
