What is it about a piece of wood that no matter who holds it, it stirs emotions within them? Is it the fact that wood remains alive, even after it is reduced from log to lumber to something lovely?
The goal of Wisp Woods is create objects in wood that, when you see them, you can't help but smile. And to create things that are will last, so you can smile your whole life through. If I can create these things from reclaimed materials, all the better for all of us.

On Craftsmanship
...woods whisper to you about tools and methods and shapes, shapes within shapes...
...you have to get on lifelong terms with your work and yourself.
The work becomes easier, you are thinking less and feeling more, because you know your tool. And that is the way it should be.
On Design
...form is only a beginning. It is the combination of feelings and function that pull it all together and give meaning to the form.
On life
Fine things in wood are important...because we are becoming aware of the fact that much of life is spent buying and discarding, and buying again, things that are not good.
