About

I got started in this hobby with my wife's help.

First came a gorgeous piece of driftwood that was found on a beach toward the south end of Whidbey Island.

This sat in my garage for over 30 years.

After I retired from work, my wife saw an article in the local senior paper advertising classes which included finishing driftwood.

After the first night's class I was hooked.

At first I didn't keep any records of what I was doing.

Then I started by logging the grit of sandpaper I was using, the time spent with each grit and the type of preservtive finish I was applying.

Then I named, signed and dated each piece.

I have often been asked by people who have seen my work if I sell it.

The answer has always been NO.

As time has passed and I keep on adding more pieces, the wife says we are running out of room and now it is time to sell.

So that's what this website is all about.
