History of Turning to the Basics
I have been woodturning since 2019, when I primarily turned bowls. Over the years I expanded my skills and currently turn a large variety of items from rolling pins to lamps and holiday ornaments to artistic boxes. Every item from my shop is a one of a kind piece. the only constant is my passion for crafing high quality, beautiful, unique wood turned items.

Large Maple Platter -$160
This platter was crafted from the intersection two large branches, creating truly unique grain patterns in the wood. The natural cracks formed in the woods as it dried are filled stabilied with soapstone inlay, highlighting the story of the wood. This platter is 15" in diameter, 1.5" tall and took 10 hours to craft over a year.
The platter was turned to a rough shape while the wood was still green (wet). After a year, when the platter was dry, it was turned to its final form, sanded, and finished with my homemade beeswax compound for a protective, food-safe, renewable finish.
