Woodturning is my passion.
I am a Master Woodturner and over the years (15+) I have been crafting unique designs using the art of woodturning and woodcraft. Currently I have been focused on the general contracting aspect of the business. Though in 2009, I entered one of my pieces made of cherry, purple heart, babinga, osage orange, turquoise, pink coral, malachite, white web (seen below) for the first time in the League of NH Craftsmen's Fair at the Mt. Sunapee resort "Living With Crafts" and won Best in Show: http://www.nhcrafts.org/juried_members/displayartist.php?id=1670. Being a member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen has opened many doors for me. It's a wonderful feeling creating a unique piece that comes from the hearts and minds of clients, whether that is a commission project or a home remodel. My wood turning works are made from domestic and exotic hardwoods along with semi precious stones such as malachite, turquoise and many others. I had mainly focused on segmented woodturnings ranging from a few pieces to thousands of pieces. I do also enjoy using solid woods, though I am drawn to the uniqueness and beauty that can be created with any given material.
Below are some of my pieces that I hope you enjoy looking at.
