Brad G.
For the past twenty-one years Brad has been sharpening his skills as a furniture
maker and designer. His work with unique and slab cut hard woods epitomizes his
love for natural design. Desiring to use the most interesting and finest hard
woods available in the West, Brad hand picks all of his wood. After years of
curing the wood himself, he is ready to transform it into a functional art
form.
Brad’s forte is his ability to create exceptional heirloom-quality furniture that combines natural form with classic design concepts. He accomplishes this with meticulous dedication to detail and craftsmanship, combined with a passion for Old World woodworking techniques. His creative talents extend even further to include a gift for intricate relief carvings which he embellishes upon many of his furniture creations.
Brad is the recipient of numerous awards from Cody, Wyoming’s Western Design Conference. In 2002 he received the coveted “Exhibitors’ Choice Award”. In 2001, he was chosen to receive the esteemed “Best Woodworking & Craftsmanship Award”. He and Lorraine were honored to accept the 2000 “Best Western Spirit Award” and the 2000 “Exhibitors’ Choice Award” for their innovative Outlaw Cabinet which was noted as “bringing western design to a new level”.
Greenwood was one of a small number of national furniture artisans invited to exhibit their work at the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson, Wyoming during their western visions show. He has been attending the show since 2003. The Interior Design Industry has been privileged to Greenwood’s work since the 1980's as he continued to develop his talents as a master craftsman and artist. His work has been published in many books and magazines across the country.
Brad resides in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of Northern California with his wife, Lorraine, and their four sons, Jesse, Jared, Landon and Luke. His studio is located in a barn on his property.
“Working with wood left close to its natural form pays homage to the history of the tree. Inconsistencies such as color variations, cracks, knots, or historical artifacts signify the tree’s life. Its scars are a reflection of its past. This furniture is so natural in character, being perfect is not considered a quality.”
