A woodworker whose passion is to search the countryside for a special one-of-a-kind, piece of timber, be it cherry (a favorite), maple, walnut or cocobolo, that has enduring character and turn it into a finely engineered and ultimately beautiful piece of furniture, so unique it is considered a work of art. Gary's technique tends to be influenced by methods and styles of earlier times, using antique woodworking tools and skills (although he does use a bandsaw from time to time). Other influences: ancient Japanese joinery, "Shaker-style furniture, Colonial-style furniture, Early American hand tool techniques and a natural finish look. Gary’s labors of love demonstrate his creativity as a contemporary artist and his woodworking skills.
