About Us
Aspen Woodworking Studios designs and creates artistic Aspen wood furnishings that are as beautiful to look at as they are useful in everyday life – thus our slogan “Artistic Creations – Functional Use”.
David, Artist and Owner of Aspen Woodworking Studios, has enjoyed working with wood, building furniture and artistic pieces, for several decades. After moving to Colorado’s high country he was inspired by the unique and beautiful custom Aspen wood fixtures in the home he shares with his best friend and wife, Elaine, and canine companion, a black Lab named Whitney, to begin using Aspen wood exclusively for his artistic creations.
David consults with Elaine on each and every creation, ensuring that each piece achieves the high standard we set - to be considered a spectacular, one-of-a-kind work of art, while having functional use. Whitney oversees everything David does, from helping choose which Aspen logs to use (and even carrying some), to resting at his feet in the Studio.
Each creation is made from “standing dead Aspen” trees, harvested from private land located near the Studio. In Our Process, a section on this website, David describes in detail how meticulous attention to each detail of creation; from selection of the perfect tree, to hand finishing of each piece is performed.
Aspen Woodworking Studios is situated in the Colorado high country above 9,000 feet and sits among Aspen groves and Pine trees; across the valley from Mt. Evans, Grays Peak and Torreys Peak (three Colorado “14ers” (http://www.14ers.com/) – mountain peaks above 14,000 feet).
As Artist and Owner of Aspen Woodworking Studios, I am dedicated to making artistic creations of unmatched quality and unique character and I will personally make sure that every patron is 100% satisfied with their order.
