Custom fixtures and Other Creations





    This door was made from barn wood. It has a mineral oil finish which enables the character of the 150+yr old wood to come through.








     I like to use mineral oil on interior wood because, in my opinion, it is the healthiest wood preservative.  In fact I use it on my cutting boards as well.

This is my sunflower showerhead. It was pounded out of heavy gauge copper and allowed to age. It was made for indoor/outdoor use.

   This is my home in up-state NY.  It was a complete overhaul, ground-up restoration. I still need to post the before pics so you can see the transformation.
    This adventure had given me the opportunity to express myself through the  design, construction, and finishing phases.
