Toby Gateley Toby lives in a wooded area by the lakeshore and enjoys crafting items from silver poplar, a fast growing soft wood tree often scorned as a "weed". After he noticed its unique highly figured grain in some of the firewood chunks he was splitting, he began experimenting with it. Poplar is a very stable wood not prone to splitting or checking as it dries, and Toby takes advantage of that trait in his crafts that include foot stools, and translucent wood panel lamp shades. He also uses other native second growth hardwoods in his creations.
Toby works out of a one-man shop and does custom work to order. He makes furniture as well as smaller items. In his spare time he enjoys gardening, strumming his guitar and cooking. He bakes a mean batch of donuts.
You can contact him at toby@oakdene.org for special orders or for more information on his work.
