Jim Miles

Jim Miles comes from a line of four generations of woodworkers from the mountains of North Carolina. Initially learning the craft from his father, he has since gone on to craft wood in almost any imaginable design, including furniture, buildings, boat-docks, woodcrafts and woodturning. All are a part of his thirty-year pursuit of the art of woodworking. Miles enjoys the challenge of making creations of small, precisely cut, individual pieces of wood that are assembled into intricate designs in bowls and vases. One work may contain hundreds of segments. Discarded natural treasures are given new life in the form of classical bowls, vases, and as timeless objects of art. Almost each piece of wood is obtained from a local source and comes with a story about its origin.
