T & J Arts & Crafts
Tom creates his wood objects from domestic and imported hardwoods using modern power tools and traditional hand tool techniques.
He uses no stains or dyes on his creations, the colors are natural to the wood, enhanced but not changed by his finishes. Simple but elegant designs that are both beautiful and useful are his trademark. Fine craftsmanship, tight joints, and finishes that are beautiful, durable, and easily maintained are characteristic of his work.
He is self-taught, constantly looking for new things to make and new methods to make them. He hopes someday to be able to produce flawless, museum-quality pieces for special customers for special occasions. Until then, he continues to improve his craft and artistry, with that goal in mind.
