This site tells a little bit about the work I do when I'm not out doing stuff with my kids and family- play traditional American music, build fine stringed instruments along with other woodworking , and do educational programs at schools and museums. In 1972, at the age of fourteen, I first heard a mountain dulcimer, and was completely entranced. For several years, I did as much wood carving, cooking, odd jobs, instrument making and playing music as a transient hippie can on kitchen tables and back porches. In 1983 I started work at Colonial Heritage Reproductions in Hinton, Virginia, building fine custom Queen Anne style furniture, doing a lot of carving and restoration and the occasional instrument on and off for ten years.
Life is good.
So, have a look around- be sure to visit the gallery of some of my work. 10001 Rooster Ridge Ln.
