Unique Builds

How master carpenters play

These are some truly one of a kind builds.  Some for clients, some for fun.


I started exploring Luthiery in 2017.  A friend of mine gave me an old guitar to repair and I got hooked.  There is something about taking a blank piece of wood and creating something that has the ability to sing.  I have repaired or built from scratch 18 stringed instruments to date with more planned for the future.  


Background images are from a builders' house that pushed the boundaries of construction and opened my eyes to a whole new world of possibilities.
