Handcrafted Driftwood Picture Framing

I was born in 1961 in Potosi, Missouri where I enjoyed watching my father build and repair things his own way.  I  also enjoyed watching my mother cook meals, desserts and pies and cakes from scratch.  I love my mother's gardening and canning of vegetables.  My grandparents owned family farms where I loved riding horses and being in the woods.

In the beginning I enjoyed making signs with routed out letters or hanging a pair of deer antlers on a knotty piece of wood. I have helped my friend restore the interiors on Rolls Royce, Bentley and Silver Clouds in the past.

In 1984 at the age of 23, I moved to Key Largo, Florida.  I love the beautiful reefs and wonderful ecosystem.  While living in Key Largo, I have worked operating heavy equipment, building homes and plumbing.  I enjoy working with boats and have helped refurbish them.  I love boating, snorkeling and fishing.

I like traveling and have had the opportunity of visiting other countries such as South Africa, Zimbabwe, Rio de Janeiro, Costa Rica and Canada.  I enjoy the gorgeous mountains, rivers, creeks, streams, springs, mangroves, ocean, the bay and The Everglades.

I appreciate driftwood and how people from different cultures have used it for centuries for their wood material.  Carving of dugout canoes and other items, always seemed to interest me.  I like recycling driftwood , buoy balls, trap line, life jackets and love collecting sea beans.  I enjoy the unique driftwood logs and boards that make landfall from our Ocean, the Gulf Stream and the North Atlantic Gyre.
