Hello!

I love taking a natural form of wood and giving it a high class
elegant look as a wooden ring. I began making wooden rings a few
years after I had lost my left hand to a table saw. It was a
traumatic experience, as you can imagine, but I wanted to make
something of myself instead of falling int de pression. I pushed
myself to create bentwood rings with no machinery involved and all
done by hand. (literally in my case).

I am 30 years old and have a wonderful wife, a lovely daughter and
another daughter on the way. They are my inspiration.
