  • Inlaid bird

    Make a solid wood bird inlay

    Solid wood inlay gives you a lot of flexibility to create a unique piece of furniture with a very strong focal point. It can be a small but powerful addition to your next project.

    The Laurentians is a vast region of Quebec known for its lakes, valleys and mountains. For the intarsia artist it provides countless design opportunities.

  • Chickadee

    One of the most distinctive bird calls is that of the Chickadee. It’s wonderful to hear them calling “Chick-a-Dee-Dee-Dee” to each other as you walk through the woods.

  • Haida Inspired Whale Mirror

    This piece is actually my interpretation of the art form and doesn't represent any one style very closely. I created this project out of my great respect for the Natives of the West Coast and their art and culture, and hope it will be accepted in the spirit it was intended.
