Daniel’s basic tools are the lathe, band saw, and chainsaw. He gets a sense of accomplishment from making a product that other people admire and enjoy. His search for the right trees or pieces of wood are like a treasure hunt. Three stages of the process that provide inspiration. 1) The first chainsaw cut along the grain of the log starts to reveal the beauty of the wood. Each log is different. 2) The clearer definition of the grain that becomes apparent with the final chisel cuts and sanding. 3) The final definition and highlighting of the grain that is revealed when the finish is applied.
