I love making things out of wood that people will use in their daily lives. I want people to enjoy the smooth touch of wooden things while appreciating its beauty and warmth. My woodcraft teacher taught me that using Fruit trees are ideal in making things like kitchen utensils.

I’ve used Apple and Plum woods before but not Pear wood, so I was very excited when I came across a supply of local Pear wood! I found the experience of creating these pieces overall pleasant and soothing from beginning to end - from touching, to carving, and even sanding!
