Lula Woodworks

by CRAIG SKOWRONEK

I was born and raised in Northampton, Massachusetts, but have called Hoover, Alabama home for the last 20 years. I developed a love of working with wood, and design each piece to bring out the unique beautiful features of each board.
I create wooden cutting boards bread boards and other serving pieces. I use more than 25 varieties of wood from all over the world, from red alder harvested in the Pacific Northwest, to padauk from Africa, to Vermont sugar maple to South American purple heart. When I set out to make a board I have no design or size in mind. I simply do what the wood tells me. The wood dictates everything. If I try and force a design or a size then what I come away with is something completely unnatural. One of my boards might be as simple as red maple with a couple of American walnut accents. Or it might be as involved as Brazilian cherry curves with African mahogany and Peruvian walnut inlays. But each board ends up as is it was meant to be. My business, Lula Woodworks, is named for my wife of more than 20 years, Lula.

Handmade Art Show Homewood

Handmade Art Show started in 1994 in a private home with just a handful of artists. It now showcases about 60 local artists.

Handmade is different from many other art shows because of it’s intimate size, featuring only local artists and is held in a neighborhood park.

Many Homewood residents walk to the show and consider Handmade their neighborhood art show.
