Welcome

Welcome to the American West Design Co.
Wood carries memory. Every knot, scar, and grain line tells a story of weather, wind, and time. When I work, I listen for that story-I try not to impose, but to reveal whats already there.
"My craft began long ago, in my fathers basement workshop. Sawdust filled the air, tools hummed with quiet promise.
Those early moments shaped my life, teaching me that patience and imagination are the true tools of any craft".
The finishes on my pieces are unto themselves and speak to whomever notices. Paints are primarily Milk, state of the art-natural oils and linseed finishes.
About Us
Craftsmanship Redefined
Our Story
Woodworking for me, is not production; its prayer. A meditation in grain and shadow. I work with reclaimed and responsibly harvested woods, using natural finishes to allow the material and us to breathe. My shop is a hybrid solar powered shop. I use the sun and hand tools. My time spent in New Mexico deepened my connection with the seasons, the scent of pine, the weight of silence-showing me how art can belong to a place, how light and texture can hold meaning.
Our Mission
Each piece I create begins as a plan but becomes dialogue. The wood has its own direction, its own will. My goal is to guide it gently-carving, sanding, shaping and finishing until its voice feels clear. I respect the history, cultures and spirituality of all. In my life and in each piece that is created.
"Listen to the wood
it tells a Story"..........
