A little something about Jim.

Jim discovered his knack for working with wood during the COVID-19 lockdown and jumped into it headfirst. He grew to appreciate the intricacies and beauty of many different woods and how to work with them. He found that the same wood, if finished or treated differently could produce such varied effects. Jim purchased a GlowForge in 2021 and loves creating new wood projects from personalizing boxes to enhancing their designs with intricate etchings. Last year a good friend of his asked him to try his hand at making a Humidor as a gift. At first, the task seemed a little out of his league, but after much research and multiple wadded-up pieces of paper and drawing on napkins, he discovered that it was just a fancier box with a wood lining and extra bells and whistles.

Over the past couple of years, he discovered his true passion and decided to pursue it part-time as a side hustle, His ultimate goal is to retire from healthcare this year and make a go of creating fine pieces of work from the different types of wood nature has to offer. Recently, he has been experimenting more with different kinds of laser engraving techniques, delving deeper into 3D relief on his boxes.

He would love for you to follow him on this journey and watch him thrive and grow in this new venture. 

Many of his pieces can now be found on Etsy, local farmers markets, maker's markets, and a few artisan fairs.
