Shirley's mission is simple: To provide the best products and service to her customers at the lowest prices possible. She takes great pride in her business, her commitment to customer service and in the products she sells.
A room in her new house, which is under construction on Summer Drive, is the current workshop for Timberon, NM's local woodworker Shirley Holstrom. Soon she will have her own workshop and you can expect to find her there most of her spare time. Shirley uses interesting pieces of materials - wood (both exotic and local), acrylic, and real gun cartridges to create the casing for a one-of-a kind specialty custom item just for you.
While Shirley is on her Jet mini-lathe, she is focusing on a small rectangular piece of wood spinning between 500 and 3975 rpm, slowly moving her sharp chisel along the wood, sending tiny chips of Bocote or Cocobolo or some other exotic wood or acrylic floating into the air and all over the place. Within a few minutes, the piece begins to take shape.
She shapes the piece by sight and feel, using no forms, not measuring the width, but listening and watching the piece of wood as it becomes a special piece. She often sands it to 12,000 grit in the finishing process. Working with wood has become an obsession and Shirley's brain is always busy trying to find new ways to use the items she makes or to make something different from the basic design.
Shirley can engrave just about anything on most every surface from engraving tiles to making wood tributes. The wood tributes can be made into desktop pieces, clocks, and picture frames. She also uses her engraver in her inlay technique to add turquoise, coral, or other fine materials, even cremated remains, to her art pieces.
The choices for design and customization are only limited by her imagination. Shirley is always experimenting with new materials and techniques and loves creating these one of a kind customized pieces for others.
