 the Art of Wood

​I work with wood
like a painter works with oils
and a sculptor with stone. 

Lines, shapes, contours and shadows are a painting.
But the colors are of the wood.
I don't use stains or dyes. 

Move from side to side and shadows move like an interesting face turning in a light.

Approach the piece
and, shallow contours appear
like swells on a lake.

Run your hand over the surface and feel the undulating shapes. You can't hurt it because it has a furniture grade finish that will last a thousand touches.
