Guild member since 2008
Rob has been a professional and dedicated craftsman in wood for over 30 years. He believes in simplicity in design and in construction, in using simple lines, and in using traditional proportions which builders have used for centuries to create structures of endearing style. Rob adapts designs from pictures or photographs of a piece that he finds visually appealing. “I often see a particular leg shape, a curve to an edge, or some other shape that I will try to incorporate into a design.” Even though he has worked with some very expensive, exotic species of wood, such as the Purple Heart, he always returns to woods that are native to Mississippi, those that he sees daily as he walks through the country. He especially likes to make pieces using wood taken from family property, knowing that it will passed down through future generations.
