PROJECTS
TAL SIEGMANN
OWNER & CREATOR
My passion for woodworking was inspired by my grandfather. As a young child, I enjoyed spending time with him in his shop. He ignited a passion within me that has only grown with time.
Now as an adult, it brings me great joy when I create unique pieces that I know will be enjoyed for years to come. Works of art that will be passed down to the next generation and beyond.
Over the past twenty years, I have focused my love & skill in working with the unlimited possibilities of wood veneers. The natural beauty of the woods – their grains, textures & colors energize me. I am passionate about designing & building custom pieces, working through the challenges that must be solved, much like a puzzle. From my first rocking horse (80 hours to complete) to my Kandinsky-inspired dining room table (600 hours to complete), my repertoire has expanded to include pieces of all shapes and sizes.
Not only do I design & build – but I am committed to sharing my skills with others. I’ve taught locally & nationally and have worked with children & adults. From beginner to advanced classes in Marquetry, it is awesome to see the smiles on my student’s faces (and mine!) when they get it.
