LH Studio Artful creations in wood. As an artist, nature remains at the heart of my work, reflecting my love and fascination with the natural world. Fisher. How lucky am I?

I was born and raised on the west coast of Canada. From farming in the Fraser Valley, to living on a vintage 1933 vessel on Quadra Island, to finally settling more than 30 years ago in Qualicum Beach to raise my family; my love of the outdoors as always been a constant. I'd wanted to study art from an early age, but life has an amazing way of helping you put other priorities in its place. Fast for

ward many decades, to when I had the privilege of meeting world-renowned woodturner / carver Douglas J. To my good fortune, I had the distinct honour of working under his guidance for more than two years prior to his retirement. This incredible opportunity to learn from a master has opened an exciting, new chapter for me as an artist. Working with my hands to create and release an image that tells a story in wood is an exciting process.

With four coats of finish on the maple top now, this will be a lovely durable finish that shows off the beautiful natural grain in this big leaf maple piece. Having the same finish on our own island maple top, we have used this for everything from rolling out dough ( food safe once cured) to morning coffee. I’m undecided on legs for this piece so if someone is interested in purchasing this I can accommodate proper height legs, or? 58 x 31 x 2 inches in size.

With a first coat of Watco Butcher block oil and finish , the warmth of the maple is really coming together.
I will continue to add further coats and lightly sand until I have a nice solid sheen. This is a hard, food safe surface ( not oily) that has proven durable and quite beautiful.
