Using salvaged, reclaimed, and found wood, Dave integrates nature and garden art.  Carved benches, planters, and sculptures are custom made based on each unique piece of wood.

"I love to carve yard debris wood. There is so much of it here in Portland. The homeowners and arborists are happy to give it to me and avoid a trip to the landfill."

"Urban trees are usually full of character. They grow in odd places, for a tree: alone, next to the sidewalk and the curb, not their native habitat. They live for decades, even centuries. They are loved by many, despised by some. Then they fall down or die. The arborists cut them down and I get to carve them."
