As a child growing up in the Czech Republic, my father instilled in me the importance of a good work ethic and a love for nature. Like me, my father was also a woodworker, and even though his approach to his craft was very humble, I could see in each piece he created a special celebration of the beautiful gifts the earth offers us.
With every sculpted rocking chair I create, I aim to honor my father’s work, and that of masters like Sam Maloof and Hal Taylor. I strive to make each rocker more comfortable, more beautiful, and more durable than the last. With the help of Carol and Curtis Martin of Martin Custom Woodworking and Antiques, I have been able to develop my craft and continue my quest to produce the finest rockers available.
Please look through the Craft Gallery to see examples of my custom rocking chairs, and feel free to comment or ask me a question.
It would be my pleasure to make an heirloom just for you!
