On visits I had made to Santa Fe for the Market with my brothers I was able to see the different furniture designs and architectural designs of the buildings. I put my woodworking skills to use to create functional items such as cedar chests, jewelry boxes, coat & hat racks, wallhangings, etc. with my rendition of Hopi designs. I hand build the items and then hand carve my Hopi designs on them. I use color stains on the wood to enhance my designs. After the product is finished I apply a coat of polyurethane varnish.
