Workshop

Made from the journey

Art, furniture and home pieces built from wood, antler, stone and metal collected on the trips. Most carvings are custom one-off designs, made for a specific customer. The work is slow and done one piece at a time. The pieces below show the kind of thing that comes off the bench.
