I began woodturning in 1999 shortly after my retirement. I work mainly with native species such as maple, walnut,
birch, honey locust, ash, oak and many more. I reserve exotic species for smaller pieces such as Xmas decorations,
weed pots, or to enhance larger pieces. I try to highlight the natural wood grain with a classic and pleasing shape
and form. I am constantly amazed at what comes out of a plain old log once it is mounted on my lathe.
