David Orth

David Orth's rural woodworking and metalworking studio lies an hour northwest of downtown Chicago in the picturesque hill country near Woodstock, IL. His 30 years of critically acclaimed work is scattered across the country in public and private places. His design morphs freely into furniture, sculpture, and liturgical projects. It often juxtaposes handcraft, industrial process, and materials in both traditional and game-changing applications. He teaches beginner and advanced woodworking, metalworking, & design skills in his own studio - and classes at Marc Adams School of Woodworking. Wooden kayak building is also covered. Complete portfolio and instruction information on the website.
