I got started in this hobby because a guy at frame shop was going to way overcharge me for a simple frame.  Well, Dad's advice popped in to my head (if you can't find it, make it), he also taught me the basics growing-up, and so here I am.

  I do really love this hobby, as my lovely wife Hazel will attest; too much, sometimes, she will report.  But she does appreciate and love my work.  However, the missus can lay a helluva finish on my projects.

  For now, it's mostly for fun.  I would be glad to make stuff for potential customers, too, but the lead times would be protracted because I have a job I must report to so I can keep on doing this.  Thanks for looking, I hope you enjoyed.

  In case you're in no hurry, and you see something you like, you can contact me at:

  Possibly in the future I will have an Etsy shop under the same name.  You can also visit my Coming Soon! page to see what is planned for future.
