About

The Woodworker

Bodhi has been working with wood since he was a little boy with his first pocket knife. As a teenager he started making wooden jewelry in the garage, turning old drills into woodworking lathes. Soon he began selling cutting boards, spice jars and small boxes at local craft fairs. Apprenticeship under a local woodworker, Paul Caron, gave him the experience and opportunity to gain valuable skills as he started working on bigger projects. Now, he is a confident and professional woodworker who designs and creates custom cabinets and furniture for clients
