Woodwork

Kenneth Mitchell is inspired by taking nature walks and hunting in the Black Belt. His creations are made of wood, metal “and a little bit of everything.” Some of his materials come from scrap yards, hardware stores and from his nature walks. He says the length of time to create a piece ranges from an hour to several days.

According to Kenneth, he “just likes making things with my hands…I see something I like, I take pictures and measurements and I make it.” He has been actively working with his craft for about five years.

“I just enjoy making stuff” says Kenneth. His “stuff” includes birdhouses, carpenter bee traps, walking sticks, DVD cabinets, shooting houses, and decorative wooden stars.
