"Every piece of wood is like a snowflake, no two will ever be the same... it is natures art." The same goes for the art that Ike Wilhelm creates. " I take a wood panel that has an interesting grain and highlight the individual grain patterns with intense colors using custom wood dye. It is then finished with a catalyzed lacquer to give it a bright and durable finish ". He also makes the custom frames for every piece and does custom frames for customers.
Exquisite Woodworking owner, master craftsman and artist Ike Wilhelm is a Columbus Ohio native and a UC Conservatory of Music graduate in classical guitar. Ike is also an accomplished luthier, musician, song writer and music teacher. He has been playing the guitar for over 28 years and has a style uniquely his own. Music and Art are part of his soul; from crafting fine furniture, building an instrument, composing a song, or masterfully playing himself, Ike can "say more without words than whole choirs."- Mike Breen, critic at Citybeat.
