Woodwork

The best description of Scott’s furniture, according to him, would be that his pieces are “functional”.Popular pieces are hope chests and saddle stands that are made from a variety of wood types. He stated that he has no special training but “I’ve always been an art student”.His inspiration comes from family and loved ones who all prefer handmade gifts.

Watercolor paintings are another area that Scott has tried. When asked how long he has been creating various works he answered “all my life…I’m just improving with age.”Creating something that makes people happy is the most rewarding and enjoyable aspect of Scott’s woodworking.
