INSTRUMENT MAKING AND WOOD CARVING

Passion to music got me interested in instrument making, and instrument making got me passionate about wood.
I build eastern inspired flutes from Finnish wood with methods inspired by Slovakian craft tradition. I build overtone flutes, bansuri-, ney- and shakuhachi type of flutes, as well as experimental instruments. I also carve wooden products for everyday life, such as kuksas, bowls and spoons.

I aim to make my products in the most ecological way. I use only hand tools in my work. I use wood from trees that have fallen naturally due to storm or other natures occure.
