DANIEL RUDY

Picture
Daniel Rudy is a self taught craftsman from Middletown, Md whose first toy as a child was a hammer.  Growing up the son of a custom builder, he began his connection with woodworking as soon as he could climb in the truck to join his father visiting job sites.  As a child, while all his friends were playing with their G.I Joe he was building forts for these action figures from the scrap wood lying around his father’s workshop.  He has found working with his hands a pleasure ever since.

Driven by a quote, “A perfect design is not determined by what you can add to a piece, rather when there is nothing else you can take away”; he hand crafts his own designs as well as custom commissions from his workshop in Boonsboro, Md.  Today he continues to see the beauty in repurposed materials and seeks them out for his functional pieces that he hopes will be enjoyed in your daily life.
