C. Roben Driftwoodwork

Richmondville, NY

"wild & refined driftwoodwork from the waters of Upstate New York"

1 part woodworker, and 1 part river lover, perhaps best explains how these sculptural driftwood pieces began. My love of creating pieces by hand and passion for using natural materials and a sustainable practice has developed this method of gathering driftwood from the river I grew up on, then drying, scraping, carving, sanding, burnishing the wood, all by hand. The wood is collected and worked on in my studio in Upstate NY.
