Vic Barr’s woodworking skills are well known and widely appreciated in the St Louis region. His sublimely designed and constructed furniture, jewelry boxes, vessels and even, wooden pens are all one-of-a-kind pieces designed to reveal the wonder hidden beneath the bark of a tree. “I see things in life in the context of building terms; we build families, careers, skills. Everything we are is built on what came before and, what we will be tomorrow depends upon what we build today. We are always under construction. What I build with my hands in my favorite medium –wood - is a concrete and satisfying expression and an extension of the philosophy that has been under construction all my life” explains Barr.
