WHERE DO I GET MY WOOD???

From scraps to hanging on the walls in a museum and galleries...

it’s recycling at it’s coolest!


fun factoid - did you know the Mona Lisa is painted on a piece of wood? Poplar to be exact.


I’m one lucky duck out there in the world. i can literally find a chunk of wood on the ground and then, within a few day, that chunk of wood is transformed, painted, and hanging on the walls in a museum!


People often ask me “where do you get all your wood?”

Well, it’s always kind of a search. It takes a good amount of effort, time, and a network of great generosity and support from people wanting to help out in doing something cool...  In general, it’s a lot of always keeping my eyes open but at the same time, I do have a couple fantastic sources like a cabinet maker friend of mine, Mike, who gives me his scraps and mess ups and the huge support of one of my favorite places, The Loading Dock - LOVE THEM! and lots from Hawkeye Construction - HUGE THANKS!
