As the name
"DeadWood Renaissance"
implies, "dead" wood is the primary source of materials used in the creation of the functional art you see on this website, thereby helping the "spirit" in the wood to live on.
Each piece of functional art goes through a painstaking process of discovery, transport, trimming, power washing, grinding, sanding, shaping, leveling, and, finally, finishing.
Much of this process has to be done by hand because the nature of the wood being used demands it.
Sometimes, in the beginning stages, a piece will appear to be a diamond in the rough only to have it basically turn into a lump of coal as it is being worked on. It may have too much dry rot, or it just may not be the piece it first appeared to be.
Fortunately, most of the time, these pieces delight the senses as they become the beautiful functional pieces of art they were destined to become.
