For some time, I have been praying and seeking God for His will and direction in my life. The focus of my prayers was a desire to work and share every precious moment God has granted during this very unique time upon the earth. I started out buying a substantial amount of wood working equipment. I began by making all kinds of odds and ends - things like tables, furniture, picture frames, lamps, and a variety of treasures constructed of wood. Things , however, progressed along slowly and awkwardly. Somehow, it seemed, I just couldn't catch the flow and direction I had been seeking from God. And then, in January of 2004, I experienced a disaster that caused me to question both the direction of my live and God's involvement in that direction! The wood shop I had been working so hard to build caught fire and burnt , nearly to the ground, on a cold snowy January day. It took our local fire department 6 hours , 3 fire trucks, and several tankers full of water and chemicals to get the blaze under control. I lost nearly the entire contents of my shop - everything from major power tools for professional woodworking, small power tools (routers, grinders, etc.), an array of hardware and miscellaneous parts accumulated over decades, as well as completed product. Having extended myself to the limit, in both human energy and financial resources, to build my shop, it appeared everything I had worked for was lost. To compound my loss, because I did not have the means to provide insurance on my shop at the time, I was forced to absorb the full brunt of our loss. Well, if ever anyone has experienced God's Beauty for Ashes in their lives it surely must be me (by the way, I named my business Beauty for Ashes several years before the fire, be careful what you ask for). One dramatic blessing from God has led to another and I have ended up right "here" on the sweetest and most fulfilling adventure of my life! Where is "here"you ask? Well, let me share with you what I do and how I do it - I buy raw wood straight from our supplier who buys the raw timber, cuts it, kiln dry's it, and brings it to me. I get every type of wood imaginable from lumber that is grown and milled right here in the U.S. of A. to several exotic types of wood grown throughout the world (view a list of them in the products section of our web site). After I purchase the wood I plane it, cut it to the shape and size desired, router the edges, and finish it. Last but not least, I create my own artwork, of which I earnestly seek God's inspiration and involvement in continually. And finally, these breathtaking woods are engraved with my laser to bring to my customers quality products to warm their hearts and homes. I appreciate you taking time to read my history and learn a little of what I am about. It is my fervent desire to share with you the reality of God's beauty for ashes in my own life as evidence of His desire for the same in yours. Thank you for visiting me, and may God grant you His Shalom-peace.
