Our Roots
It all started with a dream of adventure, in youth, across central america and asia where i thought i went to find drinks and parties, but instead found a variety of cultures, peoples and unique artisans.
I'd always ahd a soft spot for nature, and appreciated the complexities that it can create but it wasnt until that trip that i satred to see jsut how far our own world back home strayed from it and how little of it we incorporated into our homes.
I had made charcuterie boards and some small things here and there for years but nothing beat the large, mammoth trees I had seen in central america. So i decided to take a chance, and go bigger, and boy, bigger I went. In 2020 I bought my first ever single slab that was 7ft long and 40" wide and I instantly fell in love. The possibilites, the freedom of expression, the simple beauty of nature, it all took a hold of me, and I knew then and there, id never get bored of work, if i could call this that.
I opened my first woodworking studio in 2021, and never looked back.
Ive been woodworking and making beautiful pieces like the ones seen in our Galleery ever since and I'm on a mission to integrate nature, in its rawest form to our modern world, in a way that meshes with modern designs, functionality and tastes while bringing warmth into clients' homes.
