About the artist
If you want to see an example of the perfect blending
of artistic design and practical function, look no further than the creations
of woodworker Michael Mikutowski of Menominee, Michigan. For more than
20 years, Mike has been devoted to making beautiful, functional items
for the home, using only the finest domestic and exotic hardwoods.
Mike's distinctive designs and excellent craftsmanship make him a natural
fit with Creations Gallery. For more than a decade, Creations has offered
Mike's full line of jewelry and keepsake boxes, valets, desk accessories
and clocks. And each design is typically available in a variety of wood
choices.
A Mikutowski jewelry box is a work of art in and of itself. The natural
luster and rich grain of the wood is enhanced by the clean lines of the
design and the uncompromising quality of the joinery. We believe that
it is something you will enjoy in your home for the rest of your life.
Another unique Mikutowski Woodworking design is the balance clock, a
one-legged cantilevered desk or mantle clock that seems to defy the laws
of physics. More than just a time piece, this clock is a definite conversation
piece.
Creations Gallery is also proud of the Mikutowski family's commitment
to environmental awareness and minimizing waste. Many of Mike's designs
and inlays integrate the tiny leftover wood pieces, so as to generate
very little scrap. Any wood that he cannot reuse is donated to local community
schools, nursing homes and elderly service programs for art and craft
education.
