John Ramey owner of Silver Dragon Woodworking
The Reedsport Outpost is proud to feature the woodworking talent of John Ramey.
John lives in Eugene and is a graduate of the University of Oregon. John’s dad also graduated from the University of Oregon and one of his children is soon to graduate, so that will make 3 generations of graduates!
John is married with children. He got married in Anchorage,Alaska, and lived in Alaska for a time, but says now Oregon is home.
John comes to wood working from an early age. One grandfather was a cabinet maker, and one was an engineer, but worked with wood as a hobby. John has had carving tools since he was 10 years old. Wood is John’s passion. He loves to take old scrap wood and make it into something beautiful.
The name of John’s business is Silver Dragon Woodworking. The name happened because when John was in nursing home administration, his staff gave him the name of the Silver Dragon!
His speciality is beautiful lighthouses because he is inspired by the lighthouses on the coast. Many of his treasures light up! He also makes beautiful mobiles that slowly twist in the breeze, and lovely boxes of every size. Some of the boxes look like a river runs through them. They are really spectacular.
Please come into the Reedsport Outpost and see John’s art, or take a look at some of it here on our website. We are also able to ship most of John’s wonderful wood art directly to you.
