Meet the Artist
David Breedlove, Artist
Growing up in the woods and along Lake Erie,
I have always had an appreciation for nature.
Working with wood and enhancing its natural beauty
has always come easily to me.
I began making shelves and bookcases for family
and friends well before I could drive and continued
designing and selling furniture throughout high
school. Whether working construction, laboring in a
factory or owning my own remodeling company I have
always retreated to my studio to learn, create and
experiment. Over the past three decades my work has evolved and become more complex including
inlay work and specialty finishes.
Working with figured, curly and exotic woods present unique yet fulfilling challenges. From electric
blue lacquer finishes to the warmth of a natural finish, the life of the wood never ceases to amaze
me.
My shop is located in Northeastern Ohio-near the shore of Lake Erie and I obtain my wood from a
local and respected small supplier, CurlyMapleWood.com. Our area is one of the few in the world
where quality curly and figured hardwoods grow.
Whether your taste runs from modern to traditional or simple to intricate I can create a unique piece
that reflects your personality.
