I began the project of Yosemitegoat's Artwork and Woodcraft while attending Humboldt State University. I found a bunch of amazing driftwood on the beach one day and thought to myself, I should make a couple of lamps. I went to the local thrift store,purchased a number of lamps for their parts, and began piecing together the new lamps. As for the shades, I would take old lamp shades, strip the original materials and overlay handmade paper purchased at a local shop. Sure enough I was able to make half a dozen lamps which many friends wanted. I made a few trades here and there with folks and was pretty excited. I began making more and more items based upon the style and shape of the wood.
Now I make a number of various pieces that have been a blast to create.
This was my first lamp!!
Seam Rippers, wonderful gifts for those who are crafty
A cane I made for a buddy after he broke his leg skiing. The handle is hand carved from Cherry! You go Paul, glad you are back skiing!

My cute little Salt n Pepper Shaker's, They just sold in April. In fact she bought 2 vases and asked me to make a pair of candle holders too! Thanks Anna, you're awesome!!
I have made a number of new items that I brought into Mountain Sage. Many of them disappeared very quickly. Brings a smile to my face!!
Not all of them have been placed at Mountain Sage, but a good variety have.
Something for my sister!
