sirofchuck studios - "Naturally Inspired"

Paul Sirofchuck is hands-on
from start to finish.
Working with wood, for me, is not an occupation but a way of life. As an architect, I have a passion for the exploration of design and construction, finding inspiration in the beauty of nature that surrounds my studio in the woods of Western Pennsylvania, where I have lived and worked for more than 25  years.  I continually experiment with organic shapes in a sculptural approach, often using figured slabs and burls as “jewels,” creating a setting for them, much as a jeweler does with a diamond or ruby. I allow the spirit of each piece of this living material to be recreated through my artistic vision. 

I select and work each piece of wood myself, starting with harvesting trees down to final sanding and hand-rubbed oil finish. My work reflects the elegant union of rawness and refinement, crafted using traditional joinery techniques including hand-cut dovetails, mortise and tenon and frame and panel construction. The uniqueness of each piece of wood is integral to my work. I strive not to obscure the essence of the material - the fact that it is wood - giving it and the patterns and quirks that define it, prominence in the design.
