Ed has been fortunate to work with wood throughout his career. As a Log Home builder for over 30 years, he learned the intricacies of combining a primitive look with fine joinery. This has then been extended into my Ed's woodworking to create products made from hardwoods with unique patterns and vibrant colors, using simple designs and soft edges to create wood art which combine function and beauty. The hardwoods are all indigenous to Ed's home. All work is hand crafted in Madison, Indiana. (email this artist directly to learn more about their work)

Driven by a passion for nature, one of the things most rewarding for Steve is turning the wood from fallen trees into functional and decorative art and giving these trees the next chapter in their story.

While creating many stained glass pieces, Diana has explored and created within other avenues of glass, including fusing and mosaics as well.

Tom is a 7th generation wood worker and has been a successful working woodworker for over 50 yrs.

Tom prefers creating functional pieces that can be used and enjoyed by households for many years.

David is motivated to find new and exciting shapes that can be formed with a lathe. Sometimes the wood dictates the shape, or the final shape may be changed as the process continues. Items are sometimes embellished off the lathe by carving, wood burning or coloring.
