The Boxwood Artisan

A year in the making 😂 finally finished with this resin coffee table. Wife has voted on keeping this one over the other I had made.

My latest projects. Flipping furniture and making headboards. (Before and after pictures below)
Contact me if you are looking for any custom work.

I made 3 new coffee signs that are now for sale at the Historic Boxwood Inn General Store. Made with coffee beans and grounds.
Let me know if you would like something custom made!

Back in 2016 Madison and I had the pleasure of visiting Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. While visiting, John Salmon, an art instructor on base, gifted us with this beautiful handmade vase.

A couple months ago my uncle commissioned me to make something for his retirement. I came up with the photo you see. A solid piece of dark walnut with sea glass I collected from the beaches in Cuba.

The Start

Madison and I planned a journey to travel around the world. We arrived at our first destination, Hawai’i - in March 2020. Little did we know the whole world would shut down . We were so fortunate to happen upon a workstay opportunity at a Kona coffee farm, La Buena Vida & Morning Glory Farms. This made it possible for us to stay put and wait out covid for what we thought would only be a few weeks, but turned out to be a 2 years.

The Inspiration

While working the coffee farm, I picked up different jobs to make extra cash. One of the gigs was yard work for a man named Clive Salmon. He’s a groovy guy, and a crazy talented artist along with his wife, Emma. Feel free to check out Clive’s work on his FB page. His house is essentially a gallery filled with both of their artwork. Under Clive’s instruction, a bandsaw and a sander, I made my first piece. This truly sparked my interest in woodcraft, which was quite the surprise considering I never thought I had a creative bone in my body.

The Boxwood

Recently, Madison and I moved into a historic home named The Boxwood Inn. We accepted a job as caretakers and hope to start booking weddings soon. With this position, I have a big workshop to start taking my woodcrafting business seriously. Which brings us to now.

The Vision

As I’ve been wood crafting over the last few years, my favorite part of it all is seeing people’s reaction to the pieces I spent much time and energy on. This truly makes what I do worth it all. I always love when my clients come to me with ideas of what I can build for them. I can create custom-made wedding gifts, signage mounted on your accent wall, a carving displayed in the entrance of your home, the possibilities are endless. Every piece I make will be handcrafted with the closest attention to detail and ornate design.
