I was born and raised in Oregon, and my wife and I raised our family along the banks of the pristine McKenzie River in Vida Oregon. We live just downriver from the famous Good Pasture Bridge which is one of the most photographed covered bridges in the US.
I have been an avid knife collector, outdoorsman, musician and artist for most of my life and admire those who have dedicated their lives to crafting such wonderful tools.
I have crafted Native American Style flutes for 30 years, and have created custom flutes for recording artists, Hollywood stars and many movie soundtracks.

No two items on this site will be exactly the same.
