Randy sees wood as a perfect medium for creating a bridge between the natural world and our everyday indoor environments. It offers infinite variety and extraordinary beauty that reflect the environment in which it grew, and when fashioned into objects we use every day, that beauty becomes a part of our lives. Where possible, he uses natural edges and defects, such as cracks, holes, or insect damage in his work, since they serve as a reminder that wood, no matter how carefully cut and finished, is still a product of the natural world.
