River Design (green) - Wood, Leather & Resin Bracelet

Norm, a self-taught woodworker hailing from Davidson, North Carolina, honed his hands-on skills while growing up on a farm. These early experiences laid the foundation for his career in product design engineering. Now retired, Norm has channeled his passion and expertise into the arts, initially designing and crafting contemporary-craftsman furniture. His recent focus has shifted to creating unique wood and leather jewelry, utilizing a variety of techniques and materials. He works with both domestic and exotic woods, including Cherry, Rosewood, Sapele, Walnut, and Zebrawood, carefully sealing each piece for durability. His creations require minimal maintenance, needing only a wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap when necessary.
