About Bruce
A wood and metal artist based out of Round Top, Texas, Bruce started working with his hands at a young age, picking up both welding and woodworking in high school. He quickly fell in love with the craft. Bruce has used these skills throughout his career, building ornamental iron fences and gates, handrails, carports, and walkways all over Houston and the surrounding area, as well as building boats and boat trailers, and even welding small aircrafts.

Life on the Farm
We live on 200 acres about four miles outside of Round Top. It is mostly wooded and we enjoy watching the deer and cows. We raise chickens for fresh eggs and have a miniature donkey named Banjo. Kiai, our German Shepherd, especially loves riding the atv and swimming in the pond.
The Amazing Sara
My beautiful wife Sara works as an Oil and Gas Landman and has done so since 1995. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, traveling and spoiling our grandson, Brandon. In addition to that, she loves to spend time in the garden and prepare meals with our homegrown produce.
Round Top Treasures
We have discovered lots of treasures in Round Top throughout the years. We once found two huge solid Walnut doors that date back over a hundred years that I made into a sliding door for our bedroom. We bought a teakwood root table from the east that we put on the porch. We have a beautiful solid walnut table that dates back over a hundred years that I made into our dining table. We picked up a coffee table that I made into a door for our AC return air. These are just a few items that I have repurposed for our log cabin in Round Top.
A Day in the Life...
Life is great living in Round Top. My wife generally works from home so we spend lots of time together on the farm with our German Shepard Kiai. My days are spent working in my shop creating artwork. Creating something that will be treasured is my passion. I also love riding around the farm or walking in the creek looking for that special piece of wood to create one of a kind art pieces.
