Handcrafted Authentic African carving, African carved furniture by Omondi of Vermont Woods Studios. Kenyan carving. Lamu style.
Daniel first began to learn his craft at the age of 13 in his father’s studio in Africa's Mombasa, Kenya—an award-winning workspace that has since been nationally acclaimed for its work.

Following in the footsteps of his father before him-- and his grandfather before him, Daniel inherited the woodworking trade and has proceeded to establish himself as an accomplished artisan receiving national recognition by the UNCDF Micro-Enterprises Support Programme in 2001. 

It is his carving, however, that sets Daniel’s wood work apart.  Practicing a unique African Swahili style of artisanry heavily influenced by the rich cultural and religious traditions of Oman and India, his work features the complex geometric designs and floral motifs that have adorned furniture, doors, and homes along the East African Coast since the sixteenth century.

Daniel moved to the United States in 2001 and set up shop in a barn in Brattleboro, Vermont shortly thereafter.  His successful transition and creation of an art medium that effortlessly spans two vastly different cultures and continents is evident in his work, where native Kenyan woods— bambakofe and mvole—compliment cherry, maple and walnut to create genuinely breathtaking pieces.
