Every instrument that leaves this workshop began somewhere in the forest — a branch, a hide, a piece of reclaimed wood. Over fifteen years, I've learned to listen to the material before I shape it.
Rawhide stretched over hand-carved shells. Each drum continues the life of the forests heart beat.
Branches selected from my forest walks, dried for a year, then carved and tuned for professional use.
Reclaimed wood, graduated and tuned by ear and hand. No two are alike.

"The wood already knows what it wants to become. My job is to listen."
