Wood be memories

This beautiful work is the end result after J.M "Dusty" Rhodes finishes his love of wood turning. He feels extremely lucky to have turned his hobby of woodworking into a small business.

His signature work is in creating "custom” made items from trees or large shrubs from your home or property - creating a lasting hand-crafted wood item that will have sentimental and personal meaning for you, your family or close friends. By crafting something unique and often times practical, he has been able to inspire memories that will last a lifetime. Each item is "one-ofa-kind" based on the materials used. He uses only hard woods which are highly regarded for their coloring, grain patterns, feathering, mineral streaks, and other markings. Something new from Wood Be Memories is custom made Epoxy resin tables, end tables, coffee tables, and plant stands.

It is the love and respect for the wood and Mother Nature's gifts she makes available that serves as Dusty's inspiration for fine craftsmanship. Look for Dusty in Building 1 Booth 49 on Snowflake Drive.
