amberbarc

My name is Marc Garfinkel. For 30 years I have been working with wood in my home shop in Carlsbad, California. I come to woodworking from a painter’s background, with a degree in fine arts. I now paint with wood, as well as with oils and acrylics. The natural color, grain, knots and burls of the wood has become my palette.
I make everything from small boxes for rings to bookshelves and tables. I use the finest hardwoods available, both domestic and exotic. I pride myself in my ability to utilize these precious resources efficiently, with little or no waste. Each piece is conceived, designed, cut, assembled, and finished by hand in my shop. I make quality functional pieces that are visually appealing and pleasing to the touch.
My work is currently on display at etsy.com under the name amberbarc, and at Sage Eco-Gardens in Los Osos. I have exhibited at numerous craft fairs throughout California, and regularly collaborate with J Amberg of Los Osos, CA.
