My name is Ray Wood, and I am a lucky man. I live on the beautiful
Island of Matlacha in Florida. It is here in my back yard
that I get inspired to create the flutes that I love so much.
I had became interested in the Native American Flute about 3 years
prior to learning to make them. At the time, I couldn't play my first two flutes.
One day I ran into a flute maker at a local Pow Wow, and asked what
the secret was and how do I play them. Kuzin Bruce, was the name of the
man I meet, who gave me simple directions and suggested that I
practice for 10 minutes a day. |

In the spring of 2002 I asked if he would teach me to make
flutes. A few other things were discussed and I began my journey
as a flute maker, and I have fallen in love with the Native
American Love Flute.
Before I was a flute maker I was a cook for more than 30 years,
the contentment I found in the restaurant work had dwindled and
I didn't want to become a grouchy old prep cook, too poor to
retire. Today I'm following my dreams and would
like to share them and the beauty I find in them. I find my
work very satisfying and have signed and numbered each piece
that has made it pass inspection.

These handcrafted flutes are made of various woods from Cedar, Maple, Cherry, Apple, Pear,
to some of the more exotic woods such as Teak and Purpleheart.
Take a few minutes to look at my flutes and if you have any questions
please email me or give me a call.
