Biography
Rick Beach has spent much of his life working with his hands. From construction to landscaping he has a vision and talent that is uniquely his own. His first creative efforts were in leather art and he became quite proficient in carving beautiful images of wildlife onto a leather canvas. For the past several years he has invested his creative efforts in working with wood and has mastered many techniques involved in woodturning.
Using a variety of techniques and a combination of both domestic and exotic woods, Rick crafts beautiful pieces of wood art including bowls, platters, vases, and boxes. His pieces are crafted to display the natural beauty of each type of wood, accented with exotic wood to enhance the special characteristics of each piece. He works with oak, cedar, walnut, holly, and pine as well as other domestic woods to design pieces that reflect the unique gift nature offers us in the trees that provide so much to all of us.
