Carl is a fine wood worker. His tiny trees, mushrooms and tables are crafted out of re-purposed or storm-damaged wood. After taking shop classes in high school, Carl became knowledgeable of shop equipment and fine wood. Various types of wood such as Cherry, Pine, Chinaberry, walnut and barnwood often fine their way into his wonderful collection of Tiny Tables. In addition, by having a family that loves nature and traveling, the outdoors are reflected in his style and subjects.
