Wild Edge Woodworks

Wild Edge Woodworks is where exceptional craft and exquisite materials meet. My handcrafted works of functional art showcase the unique grain and figure of rare hardwoods and the striking characteristics of turquoise in each piece. As woodworking is a reductive art, I strive to honor and maintain the form and integrity of the mother tree in my creative process.

I harvest and mill hardwoods, principally velvet mesquite from the Sonoran Desert, in a sustainable manner. I hand carve organic and Botanical designs or I take advantage of natural cracks and voids in the wood. I search for gem quality Kingman and Peruvian turquoise that I crush and inlay with Resin.

In my craftsmanship, I endeavor to achieve a simple elegance that is best expressed at the intersection of the natural edge and the fine finish. I hope that my work brings beauty and

joy into your home.
