Heiko started his woodworking journey in Germany more than 30 years ago. His grandpa, an avid carpenter, often took him out to his own wood shop. As a result, he had the fortune of being taught the traditional European craft starting at a young age. The woodworkers he learned from at the time were making a living building toys and carving figurines. Over time, he realized that successful woodworking requires mastering many different techniques, and he has succeeded creating his own, distinctive style. Although he does not exclusively turn wood, it is noticeable that this is something he enjoys greatly.
