About Me
Transitioning from Neuroscience to Woodwork.
About Me
I’m Tig Rainnie, a former neuroscientist turned woodworking artist. Born in Leeds, England, and now an American citizen, I spent over three decades studying the brain and how stress shapes neural circuits. After retiring from academia, I transitioned to crafting unique hardwood and epoxy resin designs, combining scientific precision with artistic creativity.
A Fusion of Science and Art
My background in neuroscience taught me to appreciate balance and complexity, a philosophy reflected in my woodworking. I specialize in creating custom charcuterie boards, wall clocks, and functional art pieces that blend natural materials with striking design, showcasing the harmony of wood and resin.
My Process
Each piece begins with high-quality hardwood, paired with vibrant epoxy resin to highlight its natural beauty. I aim to craft functional yet artistic designs that tell a story and stand the test of time. While I occasionally take on furniture restoration projects, my focus is on crafting original, custom designs.
