Let me Introduce Myself - Self Taught Wood Artist

in rusticgreen •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hi! My name is Courtney! I am the creator of Rustic Green - handcrafted wood decor and I am new to the Steemit community. Up until a couple years ago I had never used a power tool due to fear of cutting off a limb. I conquered my fear when I decided to make wood toy chests for my children. A passion was ignited.

My wood work skills evolved from making small planter boxes and serving trays into wood wall art. I custom make most of my pieces and also sell my work at two local studios.

I work a full time day job and have an amazing husband who has helped me convert our parking garage into a wood shop. I have two young children who keep me busy and inspired. I do all my wood work in the evenings once my children are in bed. It makes for long nights and even longer days. But when you love doing something, you find a way to do it.

I am happy to report I still have all my limbs. I am forever grateful for that because all it takes is one small mistake. I look forward to sharing my work with you.
