MEDIUM: Wood - Woodworking
Welcome to Artistry In Woodworking, a small Minnesota business, handcrafting unique, unusual, original & custom-made wood gifts. They are 100 percent hard-wood and 100 percent handmade in my Rosemount, MN workshop. Artistry In Woodworking is a small home based business-creating original & custom wood gifts & home decor items in my Rosemount, Minnesota workshop. It all started as a hobby. My little hobby grew into a business as people really liked my unique designs and appreciated the quality and attention to detail. Soon I began receiving requests for a particular item or a special custom piece.
I do not have a state-of-the-art shop or extravagant showroom or employ a large, uncaring workforce or a pretentious sales staff. We also do not produce mass quantities of assembly line products.
What I do have is a love of wood - its timeless appeal, unique characteristics and creative possibilities, I personally examine each piece of stock to determine how best to display its attributes - and to bring out the beauty of its unique grain or color variations. I do all the wood finishing myself to enhance the wood's characteristics, but never to cover up what nature has given. It's my name on - and reputation behind - each item I sell, and no piece leaves my shop unless I am totally satisfied with its appearance and quality.
Using standard woodworking tools and machinery (table saw, band saw, routers, jointer, planner, sanders and many hand tools) I attempt to create objects that are a pleasure to live with. I use many different woods in typical rough form to begin with and continue to the finished piece. I have all the skills necessary to do all the steps necessary, required at all levels of the woodworking process.
