ABOUT

Born and raised in Dublin, Ireland, Desmond was drawn to woodworking from an early age. He moved to New York City in his twenties where he later joined an artist collective in Brooklyn (NY) and took courses in joinery, wood carving and furniture restoration. 

He gained more woodworking experience whilst attending the Vermont Woodworking School in Burlington (VT) where he was introduced to woodturning.

Desmond has lived in Brittany, France, since 2012. His work is refined with clean and simple lines, made from meticulously selected wood.
