Artist Statement:
Although Meb passed in 2023, I am continuing our dream. Through combining engineering skills and wood sculpture techniques I am able to create functional wooden wares for kitchen and tabletop. Each board is hand picked, debated how best to use its grain & figure. I do NOT use duplicating machines or laser cutters. I raise the grain twice and sand twice. Finally, two coats of oil is rubbed deep into the wood grain.

My goal is to make cooking & entertaining a visual and tactile pleasure. I imagine unknown hands and eyes enjoying the sensuous shapes, smooth textures, and luscious wood grains. I love knowing that our utensils create delectable recipes and our serving wares grace tables around the world. Using only New England hardwoods, I strive to leave a small environmental impact.
