Woodworker Michael Balzer specializes in crafting and sculpting a variety of art objects made from local Pennsylvania woods such as ash, cedar, cherry, maple, oak (red and white), poplar and walnut. Balzer, who has worked with wood all his life, creates jewelry and music boxes, as well as furniture, games and puzzles, wine racks, lighthouses, luminaries, toys and specialty gifts. Working with his father, a carpenter, Balzer built book cases, shelving, coffee tables, and other furniture. During the years, he has made a variety of items for gifts for family and friends. After an accident in 2006, Balzer retired from his construction company (Action Pools/Badman Builders Inc.), and decided to work on his woodcraft full time. He uses very little, if any, stains, preferring the natural colors of wood. He will spend a great deal of time studying a piece of wood’s grain, color and character, and let it tell him how it can be best presented, or preserved, in a piece of work.
