As a child, my dad worked in the
timber in the western states and
made much of our furniture.
Working from plans and copying
other's designs is where I began.
In recent years, less time in the
real world and more time in the
Ozark woods has led me to a
different philosophy.

My original work of gluing,
carving, sanding and cutting
wood into shapes has given way
to working with the natural wood I
find in the woods. Instead of
forcing the wood into the design
of my choosing, I now work with
what I find in nature and let that
determine my design path.

Most of my wood comes to me from storm damage, recycled and reclaimed materials. I
hope my artwork calls you to touch it, to use it, to be a part of its natural origins and
above all, to enjoy it! For more information about Jack's work, e-mail
