About Jacob
When not performing as Principal Horn of the Virginia Symphony Orchestra, I’m in my backyard shop, turning raw wood into cutting boards, bowls, pens, and custom designs. Each creation reflects years of woodworking experience combined with a musician’s eye for detail, patience, and creativity.
What started as a personal passion project — making gifts and practical items for friends and family — has grown into a woodworking studio rooted in artistry, craftsmanship, and care.
