I love wood; the grain, the colors and the textures. When I walk in a forest I see tables, chairs, and all kinds of furniture. I am drawn to trees that are in their final stage of life or are already on the ground. By harvesting what the forest gives I am able to convert debris from the forest to furniture. Not only do I love to design and build furniture, I enjoy teaching others the craft. I mentor others and demonstrate woodworking when possible to keep this craft alive. My motto is, “From forest to furniture, leave the smallest impact on nature possible.”–Jerill Vance
