ABOUT

ABOUT THE WOODWORKER
WHY LIVE EDGE AND RAW SLAB WOODWORKING?
WHAT I DO?

I moved to coastal Eastern Carolina in 2016, initially living in Wilmington, I relocated to New Bern in 2020. I lived in Vermont for 30 years, and then Indiana for 5 years before heading to the NC coast.  I have a BS and MS in Materials Science Engineering.  Although most of my professional career was with IBM, I have spent the last 10 years working in the non-profit (501c3) sector.  Once I have the business established and stable, my goal is to donate a fixed percentage of the gross sales to  a local non-profit on an annual basis.

I have been doing woodworking on an informal basis since high school shop class!  Working with rough sawn lumber has design, problem solving, and creative aspects to it that appeal to my 'engineering' mindset.  I enjoy creating products that are unique, and personify the beauty of natural wood.  Combining this passion, with my interest in starting a small business led to the creation of NC LIVE EDGE, LLC

I typically create live edge and slab tables in one of three scenarios:

  1. A completed table ready for purchase and use.

  2. A finished table top which the client can choose a table height and leg design - within some constraints.

  3. Commision work based on client interest and needs

I am happy to discuss any project ideas you may have
