Jack Divine
As a child, my dad worked in the timber in the
western states and made much of our furniture.
Working from plans and copying other's designs is
where I began. In recent years, less time in the real
world and more time in the Ozark woods has led
me to a different philosophy.
My original work of gluing, carving, sanding and
cutting wood into shapes has given way to working
with the natural wood I find in the woods. Instead of
forcing the wood into the design of my choosing, I
now work with what I find in nature and let that
determine my design path.
Most of my wood comes to me from storm
damage, recycled and reclaimed materials. I
hope my artwork calls you to touch it, to use it,
to be a part of its natural origins and above all,
to enjoy it! For more information about Jack's
