ARTISTS WORKING IN WOOD
Jim Dyer — San Patricio, New Mexico Furniture Until 3 years ago, Jim was a Custom Home Builder in Utah and New Mexico. And now after retiring, he has devoted himself to his love of building rustic furniture. Jim lets the wood make it’s own creation. With his imagination and craftmanship, mesquite, juniper and aspen become Functional Art.
Pete Bolduc — Carrizozo, New Mexco Furniture With the exception of a couple extended visits to Florida, we have, for the past 14 years, made a living buying and selling collectibles at various flea markets and shows throughout the southwest. Originally, I began to make furniture at the flea market only as an add-on product to complement our wide variety of collectibles. It did not take long, however, for us to realize the high desire for high quality fine furniture, made from the natural art only God’s nature can provide.
Mike Lagg — Carrizozo, New Mexco Furniture and Gift Items Wood is the source and fabric of my imagination. A woodworker by trade, I am inspired by the functionality of design, by the attraction of light and by the sway of movement. Music and dance inspire me. But some days, necessity is inspiration enough. One-of-a-kind furnishings are my specialty, but I also create smaller exclusive gift items.
Steve & Madeline Sabo — Nogal, New Mexco Vases and Bowls Both are accomplished wood-turners who specialize in turning on the lathe unique and beautiful vases, bowls, boxes, platters, and many more art works from New Mexico found wood. Some of the Sabo's artwork is tureen ware and other pieces are for the viewer to hold and enjoy the warmth of an exquisite wood art form.
Scott and Stephanie Shangra — Ruidoso, New Mexco Specialty Carvings We find working with wood to be both rewarding and fulfilling. We take pride knowing that each piece created, be it fine custom furniture, carved bowls or a specialty carving, is lovingly admired for generations.
