ARC Woodworking

Andrew Raymond Costine

The process I use in building my boxes is subtractive. I build the piece larger than I need, and then I use band saws, grinders and sanders to develop the final shape. This technique lets me work with the natural figure in the wood. To make my mirrors, I use figured woods and burls combined with geometric shapes. I believe the geometric details elevate the natural shapes of the wood. I try to use environmentally friendly woods whenever possible. Much of my material is salvaged wood from western North Carolina.
