I focus on medium-sized peices (vases\, urns\, etc.\, in wood turning\, and jewelry boxes and frames in flatwork)\, usually seeking to c ombine different wood species to provide color and texture in my pieces. I am also the inventor of the JS3 jig\, which is used to set up for compoun d-angle cuts necessary for splayed-stave woodturning\, or boxes with leani ng walls.” \nOutside of woodworking\, Matt is a full-time mechanical eng ineer\, a dad\, and a saxophone and flute-player in a jazz band in the Nor th Hills in Pittsburgh.
