About Woodsongs

Barry MiddletonMy creations in wood are influenced by a million visions of this world; from the simplicity of Frank Lloyd Wright’s architectural drawings to the complexity of a strand of silk.  As a child I worked with my father refinishing antique furniture.  I saw then the layers of beauty within a piece of wood.  Later, I designed commercial art and mixed textile dyes professionally.  All these experiences led me to develop Woodsongs, a unique blend of color, texture, and design in functional and ornamental wood items.

 I specialize in one-of-a-kind pieces that complement perfectly a room or place of business.  After developing a shared vision with the client, I select the perfect woods obtained from exotic locations around the world.  Using very few modern tools, I employ classic woodworking techniques, such as halflap, spline and rabbet simple joints.  I have perfected a method of finishing the pieces with my own formula which incorporates no additional colors or stains, allowing the natural hue of the wood to glow. 

Woodsongs is a development of a unique sculptural panel that has a wide variety of uses; Wall sculptures, doors, cabinet doors, tables and other furniture, boxes, serving trays, etc.

Woodsongs functional items become works of art, not just utensils.  Doors become passages, shutters become vistas, screens become tableaus.  I invite you to bring the sound and beauty of Woodsongs into your world.
