Experience & Creativity
I was introduced to the wood lathe as a very young child and retained a secret fascination with woodturning for decades before deciding to turn seriously.
Most of the wood that I turn comes from trees growing in the Pacific Northwest, and it all comes from trees that are cut down for some other reason. I like to think of my stock of wood as salvage; even so I only select those trees that have particularly interesting color or grain.

I mill logs with chainsaw and bandsaw, wax-seal the end grain and air-dry the blanks from one to several years before use.
Each piece of wood is selected for turning a particular piece to emphasize grain and color, so that the end result is aesthetically pleasing in appearance, form and/or function.

Our Guarantee
My lathe-turned pieces will last a lifetime, if not washed with water or placed in a dishwasher; many would eventually qualify as heirloom pieces. I carefully shape, sand and finish to produce the ideal functional or whimsical piece.
It is natural for wood to have voids, bugs and checks (minute cracks). Many pieces are discarded due to these defects; some defects are so minor that they can easily be repaired with no loss of integrity to the piece.
