“You will know your medium when you can’t stop thinking about it, no matter what you are doing. When you come to love deeply the way that that medium smells and feels and even tastes.”

-Jonathan Puls



Wood is humble, it is lustrous, it is sensuous, it has history and personality, it demands time and patience, steady hands, planning, hope, problem solving and care. Each time I select a piece of wood I feel simultaneously scared and empowered. I belong to these pieces of wood, I am their craftsman, despite my inexperience and inadequate skill, I am theirs and they are mine. Frustrating, difficult and more rewarding than anything else I have worked with, wood is my medium.


I am available for commissioned fine-woodworking of all types. If you can imagine it, I can build it! Contact me at LCornman@Gmail.com
