Sometimes when you think you've seen it all, the you stop and think about a car guy you met years ago, named Steve Heller.
Funny - over the past 15 years, we've talked and I've seen the outrageous pieces of Car Art on tables at shows along with his kool cars. Well, today I had the chance to see it all at Steve Heller’s Fabulous Furniture Gallery & Sculpture Park in Boiceville, NY, and go BEHIND THE DOOR.
Steve started Fabulous Furniture in 1973, but he'd started working with wood long before then. When he was twelve he used to do a paper route and then ride his bike over to the park and look for fallen trees. Steve would carry them home in the press basket and carve them into forms. Steve did his own logging, looking for trees too big and misshapen to be used by other loggers.
Besides woodworking, he began making sculpture as a kid, but and went into full-on production in 1987 when his father died. He called himself an antique dealer, but in reality he was a junk collector and now one of the best around working car metal.

His shop is located on RT28, 10 minuntes outside Woodstock, NY... Thank you to Steve & Martha for allowing me to see all this amazing art!
