Some of what I make I will offer here for sale.  All bowls are signed and dated on the bottom.  I also mark each with a number in a series for that year.  On spoons, I carve my makers mark into the underside of the handle. 

If there are not many pieces available, check back again.  I'll keep making more, but I can't rush things.  It takes time.

If you wish to make a purchase, please send me an email to let me know which piece(s) you would like, and which payment method you prefer.  One way to pay is by sending a check or money order through the mail.  Alternatively, you may wish to pay through PayPal using your PayPal account or a credit card (even if you do not have a PayPal account).  If you wish to use PayPal, I will reply to your original email with a PayPal invoice requesting payment.

To keep shipping rates simple, I will charge a flat $8 shipping and handling fee per order (not per item) for parcel post to the lower 48 U.S. states.  I'll quote you a price for shipping outside of that area if you inquire.  I can also quote you a price for expedited shipping at your request.  If I am shipping to a PA address, I must charge 6% sales tax, but not if shipping out-of-state.  For those close by, you can arrange a visit to my workshop to make your purchase and save on shipping.  I may also have some additional items for sale at the few local festivals where I demonstrate.

I have been woodworking since Dad let me near his tools -- which was pretty early.  I really got into woodcarving over fifteen years ago, and began selling bowls  in 2004.  I have sold a lot of bowls since then, and haven't had any returned, but you can be assured that if you aren't happy with the bowl you receive you can return it to me and get your money back.

"What I would like to do before it is too late is to get this across to a few craftsmen-to-be who will work after me, and also to a public which will be there to receive them, because we are living in a time when, I believe, this is important.

Fine things in wood are important, not only aesthetically, as oddities or rarities, but because ... much of our life is spent buying and discarding and buying again things that are not good.

Some of us long to have at least something, somewhere, which will give us harmony and a sense of durability -- I won't say permanence, but durability -- things that, through the years, become more and more beautiful, things we can leave to our children"

I was reminded of this James Krenov quote when I visited the website of Steve and Sue Schmeck.  I encourage a visit to their inspiring website at www.manytracks.com.
