My Story

Flying Squirrel Woodworks is a journey of self discovery.

As the grandson of an avid South African carpenter, I grew up surrounded by creations of his imagination in wood. After many years of trying to find my place in the world, I eventually landed in what came to me naturally - woodworking. Through careful observations of my grandfather’s projects, I studied what he made and created magic.

With a keen eye for exotic and figured woods, I design and construct one-of-a-kind pieces that are not only functional, but are true works of art.
