» We are a husband and wife team with a small crafts shop and specialize in producing a limited number of high-quality handmade items. We are located in Boise, Idaho where we have lived for the last 18 years.

» We both have a Bachelors of Fine Arts and a Masters of Fine Arts in visual arts. We have also worked full-time for museums & galleries for over 15 years as well as operating our own art services business for over six years.

» We are active recyclers. Our wood comes from cutoffs from a large local commercial woodshop. The lengths of wood that they don't want are usually sections with unusual grain patterns or colors which wouldn't work well with their large-scale productions but which are perfect for our small jewelry boxes, frames, and such. We're able to give this perfectly good wood a second life instead of seeing it otherwise end up in the landfill. We've also been able to salvage parts of a dead black walnut tree that the city tagged for removal from our neighborhood. We were given parts of the tree as the city cut it down and were able to save enough for many future projects.
