“Iam a full-time woodturner.
The hours speed by as the shavings fly from
the lathe. Though I occasionally work with exotic woods, most of my work–both artforms and utili- tarian–is created from what turners call “rescued wood,” trees which were downed by storm or sickness...My art philosophy is in agreement with the late woodturner, Ed Moulthrop, who said, ‘I don’t design beauty, I uncover it.’ So, if my vision uncovers the wood’s inner beauty for you ,I will have succeeded.”
