- About
I’ve always been a wood worker. As a young boy, I often worked in my dad’s basement shop. As a young homeowner, I renovated several homes myself. While my “day job” was in the corporate world, my heart was in the shop. So, at one point I decided to leave my corporate life behind and start Greenwood Bay. These days I have a small but thriving furniture business that specializes in solid wood. My work has been seen on HGTV, the Houston Chronicle, Houzz, and Luxe magazine, among others. Each piece is made completely by hand in my 1,800 square foot shop near downtown Houston.
My website is at www.greenwoodbay.net and my email is bob@greenwoodbay.net . What can I make for you?

Resilience
Figured Maple, charred Palm, Copper leaf, Aluminum / 2021 14×12×4The broken corner of the piece and the charred wood on the base add character to this piece I call “Resilience”. Wood, like people, gains character through stress and distress.
