Gallery Overview
Browse the photo galleries of some of the projects Woody has created that now reside in homes and businesses around the southeastern US.
Ask about the characteristics and beauty of each type of wood: black walnut, maple, sycamore, white oak, box elder maple, cedar… some with spalting and/or ambrosia features.
Woody uses downed trees and trees removed from properties for construction, and many magnificent trees that are currently coming from the extensive wreckage that hurricane Helene unleashed. What better way to honor the lives of these trees than to be reminded of their beauty every day in a handcrafted piece of furniture or art.
I specialize in creating live-edge tables. Different finishes are used appropriate to the intended use and location of the finished piece, as well as customer preference. I never use stains on the wood. Rubio Monocoat is my go-to for indoor furniture: it is the only interior all-natural wood sealer with no toxic ingredients. Unlike most oils that are laced with toxic solvents, Rubio Monocoat is plant-based, 100% VOC-free and has virtually no odor.
And for commercial bartops and outdoor furniture, the customer will often opt for epoxy: it gives a hard, impermeable surface that stands up to constant and sometimes hard use.
