Ribbon of Oak
This sculpture was carved from some beautiful marbled pin oak. The form was sculpted, deeply sandblasted and coated with linseed oil base finish to enhance the vibrant grain coloring. Dimensions: 36”H x 7.5” W x 7.5”d. The close-up images of the sandblasted textured surface reveal beautiful medullary rays that flow with the form.
On Course
This sculpture is a vertically oriented, flowing wall piece made from Ambrosia Maple, shaped into a continuous ribbon-like form. It undulates in a gentle S-curve, creating a rhythmic sequence of concave and convex surfaces that feel both organic and architectural.
The interior faces are light-toned wood with visible grain, knots, and natural figuring that resemble topographic maps or flowing water patterns. These pale surfaces contrast sharply with the darker, reddish-brown wood edging that crisply outlines the form, emphasizing its contours and movement. The edges act almost like a drawn line, guiding the eye up and down the sculpture’s sinuous path.
Though static, the piece strongly suggests motion—like a wave frozen mid-crest, a folded sheet caught in air, or a river carving its way through space. The repetition of scooped forms creates depth and shadow, giving the sculpture a sense of breathing or pulsing as light moves across it.
Overall, it feels meditative and elegant: a balance between control and natural variation, craftsmanship and spontaneity, structure and flow.

SOLD Wall sculpture carved from a rare & beautiful 150Lb maple burl. Dyed ocean blue with a smooth oil finish. Inspired by ocean waves lighted by a full moon. Dimensions 32″ x 28″ x 7″ deep.
Unwind
Unwind is a sandblasted oak wall sculpture that explores movement, rhythm, and the natural beauty of wood. Three interconnected, flowing forms rise and fall across the wall, evoking unfurling shells, flowing fabric, or waves shaped by water and time. The sweeping contours transform solid oak into an organic, almost fluid composition.
Sandblasting reveals the oak’s rich grain, creating a striking contrast between the golden highlights and darkened recesses and edges. The grain follows the sculpted curves, emphasizing depth, texture, and movement. Each form has its own character, yet all three flow together in a continuous rhythm, inviting the viewer to experience the interplay of natural material, light, and shadow.

Spiral Galaxy 2
This sculpture is a wall-mounted relief carved from a single piece of Black Walnut. The wood grain is a central visual element: layered bands of light and dark tones follow the spiral’s motion, enhancing the sense of rotation and depth. The carving is highly dimensional, with undulating ridges and recessed channels that create dramatic shadows, making the surface feel almost geological or fluid, as if the wood were flowing inward.
The spiral suggests multiple interpretations: a whirlpool, vortex, galaxy, or natural force such as wind or erosion. The central hole acts as a focal point, evoking ideas of origin, collapse, or infinite motion. The slightly irregular lower edge contrasts with the precise square format, reinforcing a tension between natural processes and human design.
Overall, the sculpture feels dynamic and immersive, combining organic texture with strong geometric framing, and invites contemplation of movement, time, and natural energy frozen in wood.
