"I design for a timeless, almost Shaker simplicity
with great attention to joinery and
finish. I use not only traditional geometrical forms and
proportions, but also asymmetry, and, in the bowls,
natural edges and defects. I want my pieces to feel good in
the hand, so all edges are rounded and all hidden surfaces
smooth. I don't look to impose a shape, but to uncover one
that reflects and interacts with the natural fractal harmony
between heartwood and sapwood. I feel that the people who
buy my work are co-creators, and deserve my gratitude for
allowing me to do the work I love." - - Barry

My bowls and boxes are in the collections of the Queen of
Spain, and many other heads of state.
My mother has a few too...
We sell in about fifty galleries
in the US, or you can buy from us by mail (no
customs duties). If you are coming to Costa
Rica, you will need a map
to get to our place. Barry and Sarah
like showing the workshop and showroom! We are in the town
of Escazú, overlooking San José. Here is a magazine
article from Guide magazine by Anne Newton.
We give away tropical hardwood tree
saplings to anyone interested in reforesting. We also
maintain the Reserva Ecologica Biesanz
a wildlife refuge in Manuel Antonio, on Quepos Point
which provides some protection for endangered squirrel monkeys.
We are hoping to exchange information with biologists about
squirrel monkeys (Saimeri oerstedii oerstedii), or cocobolo
(Dalbergia retusa), or Costa Rican tropical ecology.
