Folded Oak
This beautiful form was sculpted from a piece of Pin Oak. The form was inspired by studying folded glass shapes. Sanded then sandblasted to accent the medullary rays and grain lines. Bleached with a Satin finish.
Lines of Motion
Sculpted bowl form from beautiful figured Olive Ash. Lightly sandblasted to showcase the grain lines with an oil finish. 16″L x 12″W x 13″H
Splash of Ambrosia
This form was sculpted from a beautiful piece of Ambrosia Silver Maple. It has distinctive grain patterns and natural blemishes that add to its character. It has a wavy or folded rim with a dark trim along the edges, giving it a modern and artistic feel. The base of the bowl consists of four petite legs, lifting the piece slightly above the surface. The overall design suggests a blend of natural aesthetics and skilled craftsmanship, highlighting the beauty of the wood and the artist’s attention to detail.
Sanded carefully and finished with shellac and satin wax. Dims: 18″x14”x12”H
Folded Walnut
This sculpture appears to be an abstract, organically shaped wooden form—carved from Black Walnut—characterized by flowing, folded contours.
The body rises from three rounded, leg-like bases that merge into a single mass, giving it a stable yet slightly animated stance. From this base, the wood sweeps upward into undulating, ribbon-like folds that curl inward and outward, creating deep concave valleys and smooth convex ridges. The edges of these folds are crisply defined, accentuated by darker lines that trace the curves and emphasize the movement of the form.
The natural grain of the wood plays a major role in the sculpture’s visual impact. Warm brown tones transition into lighter, honey-colored highlights along the interior surfaces, enhancing the sense of depth and flow. The finish is smooth and polished, allowing the grain to read like contour lines on a map, reinforcing the sculpture’s rhythmic, wave-like motion.
Overall, the piece feels both architectural and biological—suggestive of petals unfurling, fabric frozen mid-fold, or a living organism opening itself to space—balancing precision craftsmanship with an expressive, fluid sensibility.

Cascading Walnut
This sculpture evokes movement, balance, and organic growth—it could be interpreted as flowing water, wind-shaped rock, or a natural form evolving over time. It feels both dynamic and grounded, combining natural material with a contemporary abstract aesthetic. The negative spaces between the curves are just as important as the solid wood, allowing light and shadow to pass through. This creates visual depth and changes the sculpture’s appearance depending on viewing angle and lighting.
This form was extensively carved from a beautiful black walnut log, 3 ft tall x 9 inch diameter. Sculpted, sanded then finished with matte Lacquer.
