With his house perfectly situated atop a small mountain, Scott is inspired by the beauty of the "Last Best Place". Most days, you can find him in the workshop spending long hours perfecting his craft.
Each piece begins by hand-selecting the finest wood available. The unique and natural characteristics of this wood are exposed through flowing lines and strong, yet elegant joinery.
Using a variety of hand tools and sculpting techniques, paying particular attention to details such as grain direction and subtle color changes, the wood is painstakingly carved and shaped into its final form. As a final step, each piece is hand rubbed with a mixture of tung oil and resin, providing a protective coat and enhancing the delicate nature of the wood.
"I strive to capture the timeless and unique character of wood through fluid shapes and simple lines, just as it appears in nature."

The human body, although as varied as wood grain itself, still wants to be comfortable. With this in mind, I build my rocking chairs with exceptional lumbar support, sculpted seats, headrests and arms, all of which are sanded to a glass-like finish to cradle your body as though it were made just for the rocking chair instead of the reverse.

Woodworking is my passion - and building custom chairs is what makes that passion burn. The challenges of creating a thing of beauty, lasting strength, pleasing form and sensual comfort are numerous and force me to continually revise my pieces. I refuse to accept the notion that I have mastered my craft; complacency and status quo have no place in my workshop. Read more about me and my chairs in the press as well as my exhibits and awards.
