Meet Me

I was born and raised in Gdynia, Poland. I immigrated to USA in my early twenties and settled in Chicagoland area. I am married with four kids.  Professionally, I am a mechanical engineer.

Woodworking has always been my passion. Wood is the main medium and combine with composites, epoxy, metal, glass, rope etc give my projects a personal touch. I love diversity and challenge, and best pieces I ever made might not come to life again same way. 

Why "WoodBlues"? - Music is my fourth dimension. I have been playing harmonica since I was a teenager. Music is my companion and time machine.

Welcome. Enjoy.
