Mel Gragirena Woodworks

In June 2007, out of the blue, I received a job offer that officially changed my job title from carpenter to art fabricator. Suddenly, I had access to a 5,000 square foot shop full of tools, and a space of my own. After spending many hours working on other people's art projects, I realized it was time to create some art of my own. Welcome to my site.

Oct 20, 2009		Tune into the new season of Giada De Laurentiis's show, Giada at Home on the Food Network. Some of my custom made bowls will be featured on several upcoming episodes. Air times: Saturdays @ 10am and 1pm, Mondays @ 4:30pm, or check your local listings.
Jul 3, 2009		Usually, I don't like to talk about things I'm going to do but, within the next month I will have four large 10" to 14" diameter Basque flag bowls available. Please email me if you're interested. In the works -- the first set of my "Spy vs. Spy" bowl series. Pictures coming soon.
