I began woodturning twelve years ago to make parts for furniture I was making.  Turning now occupies most of my time in the studio.  Little did I know how seductive woodturning would become.

I am a Professional member of the American Association of Woodturners and the Northeast Woodworkers Association.  Much of my training in this Craft has come from my exposure to these organizations and their world-renowned instructors.

Most of the work I produce is functional, however I have recently added decorative bowls for those who enjoy the aesthetics of wood, its color and texture.  Every effort is made to produce a bowl that will become an heirloom.  

Most materials are North American hardwoods, many grown here in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains.  Ashes, Maples, and Birch are my favorites.  North American craftsmen have used these woods for two centuries to produce useful utensils.  Though change is inevitable, I believe keeping a connection to the past can add value to our daily lives.  I derive great satisfaction carrying on the age-old craft of turning wood to produce objects that are useful, pleasant to the touch and pleasing to the eye.  

I sell my turned bowls at The Artworks in Old Forge, NY, and at several Fine Arts & Crafts Shows in the Central NY area.  I have won awards for craftsmanship and design through attending these venues.
