About Herb


 

Herb's work is all about creating individual pieces of art each different in colour, grains and textures. Shapes and sizes vary; no two pieces are alike. Every piece of wood used is obtained from naturally damaged trees, from various piles of firewood and from suppliers of lumber who obtain their material from loggers and manufacturers who use ecologically sustainable forestry practices.

This is about Herb's love of the art and the pure joy of crafting in wood. His creations are enjoyed by wood lovers around the world including Canada, United States, Ireland, England, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and various countries in continental Europe.

This is functional art, bowls work like bowls and serving trays are built to be used and enjoyed. The finish is designed to preserve the wood while bringing out the natural grains and textures to be admired and enjoyed. Wood pieces last almost indefinitely and, while functional, they are beautiful to look at and display.

Herb lives in Kingston, Ontario, Canada and displays in local galleries, at studio tours, on eBay and through the Internet.

Ordering is easy and shipping is immediate. This is far from a high-speed operation, but new pieces are regularly added and you can see them here first.
