Brad is known for his wooden puzzles, bookmarks, magnets, decorative fretwork and intarsia art.  He creates his pieces with the help of his wife, Hazel.  Together they design and execute beautifully crafted puzzles of a variety of dog breeds, cats, wildlife, and fantasia - all using a scroll saw.  They can custom-design for you too!  

 Brad's Artist Statement: 

My passion and love for making sawdust is embedded in my bones and runs back several generations. I am driven by the "unknown" which is why I am always thrilled to use woods that are unfamiliar to me. I use many species of wood found all over the world. To keep my environmental views in focus, almost every piece of wood used in my work is recycled, reclaimed, or salvaged. I use no stains or dyes, just natural oils to bring out the natural beauty of the wood. 

My heart lies in the construction of puzzles. I have been obsessed with puzzles of all forms since early childhood. I enjoy them because they are not just art but functional objects that get the gears turning in heads.  My wife, Hazel, is a tremendous  

help in the making of puzzles and other art.   

It would not be possible without her.
