;void(0)) William Scroggins Will got his start in woodworking twenty-five years ago building condominiums in Myrtle Beach S.C. Will continued construction for ten years working with Quattlebaum Const. Quattlebaum is a very old southern family with roots and land in the Carolinas . Learning all that he could, Will went out on his own in Winston-Salem N.C. Remodeling homes for RJ Reynolds executives and white-collar employees for Life Savers, Del Monte, and Planters peanuts executives. All of who were based in Winston-Salem N.C. Will then moved west to California , where he found employment at Cinnabar California, A set design and special effects house. Cinnabar (http://www.cinnabarcalifornia.com ) is the oldest independent set shop in Hollywood . Will learned the craft working with some of the oldest and best in their field. With a construction background and The never ending creativity that flows thru Burbank and all the studios in Hollywood, Will is now doing the designing and fabrication at his store in Cambria , Ca. Using some of the most beautiful woods available and matching them up with pieces of wood that look like they belong together. Will is not pumping out widgets or key chains for tourists to purchase. He is creating unique pieces of utilitarian works of art that make you stop and think about common sense ideas and designs. In addition, I might add that common sense is not that common. Stop in at Moonstone Redwood and browse around and if you can find Will with his hands idle, have a chat with him, you will find him to be open to your thoughts and ideas. Never in my life have I had a passion for anything in life. Until I opened the gallery, I excelled at nothing in life. I was not a creative person growing up. When I started this journey with Moonstone Redwood I began to grow in ways that were not familiar to me. I love what I am doing with redwood. I have become a sponge for information about redwood and I am able to retrieve that information when I need it. I am so passionate about creating new creations with redwood and copper, it is all I do besides a bath now and again and food intake during my waking hours. I am not interested in other forms of entertainment. I want to create as long as my body will allow it. I want to make people see what I see in the wood and all the beauty it has to offer. Have you heard the expression, don't judge a book by it's cover? People say it all the time but when it comes time to judge something they fall short of the saying. It is my opinion that the beauty of EVERYTHING is hidden beneath the surface. With wood I can prove it 100%. And you can take that to the bank. | Return Home | Hammered Copper | Water Fountains | Redwood benches | Mushroom Halogen Lamps | About the Artist | Contact Us | |
