Everything I do is about the Materials I use.
Each piece I create has a unique story, and that story starts with the materials used for it. Whether it be old skateboards, crummy pallets, old soda crates, thrown out furniture, new exotic lumber, old ammo cans, marine corps fuel cans, film canisters, suit cases, you name, I use it.
Every thing I create, is a unique piece, that starts from an idea in my head, until it start crafting it. The material selection is a big key in this. I pick what I like, and what I believe will look good.
Pallets
New & Exotic Lumber
Sometimes, the best look needs specific lumber. Thats where new lumber comes into play. I can’t always use reclaimed wood, but I also enjoy picking the right piece for the project at hand.
Not every pallet is worthy, but some are made from hardwoods that most would overlook. It’s a lot of work turning old pallets into useable wood, but I enjoy giving a second life to trash, and turning into something beautiful.
Ammo Cans
Skateboards
As a Veteran, the Military will always hold a place in my heart, so finding a way to turn old ammo cans into one off speakers, well thats an awesome way for me to pay homage to my past.
One of the most popular options, and one of my personal favorites is skateboard wood. Turning old thrashed decks into new usable wood is more work than you could thing, but ends up with a unique one off piece.
