The devil's in the details and so is Chuck!

End-grain cutting board by Chuck Minchew

Don't let Chuck's meticulously designed end-grain* cutting boards fool you; he'll tell you he is NOT a detail guy.  But, in spite of himself, he's managed to get hooked on putting together geometric designs with drop-dead gorgeous woods.

Chuck at the workbench

Chuck cuts the blocks out of a variety of woods, some local - elm, walnut, oak, cherry, maple, and beech.  Made up of different sized blocks, the designs take advantage of the beauty of the wood grain.

Use them for cutting, for serving or just for display.

They are finished with food-safe mineral oil and beeswax, have feet on the underneath and can be wired for hanging.

End-grain cutting board by Chuck Minchew

* End-Grain refers to the grain of the wood one sees at the end of a board (where you can see the evidence of rings). This is as opposed to the 'regular' (face) grain that one normally sees in cutting boards.
Come by and see all of the ArtBrake! artists on June 10 and 11.  You'll be rewarded!

Jim Bridgman: Highlighting the beauty

Wood bowls and table by Jim Bridgman

It makes one want to take a closer look at everything Jim makes.  From his beautiful tables to his bowls and, ohh, the feather jewelry!

Jim learned how to make fishing lures from his father and uses those techniques on feather jewelry.

Jim finds the beauty in each material and makes it even better.

Carving a cane at his grandfather's homestead in Chatham County
