My distinctive, detailed, hand carved pieces are created and designed to be used in the home everyday. My intention is to bring beauty and delight to the usual circadian rituals of our lives. Many hours of effort, design, speculation and decisionmaking go into each individual piece I offer. Always imperfect in some way…. human hands. I am always happy to have each find its way to a new and appreciative home. Always happy to discuss new ideas and requests. dwolfield@gmail.com
