I have been a woodworker most of my life. Early in life it was just a serious hobby, but later I started participating in juried art fairs and selling work through various midwest galleries. Having recently retired and moved to the UP, I am devoting more time to my passion. I turn bowls, vases and wine stoppers on a wood lathe, make cutting boards, and am pursuing the idea of making wooden boxes. I have an extensive array of woodworking tools, my latest being a restored 1955 Delta table saw which is absolutely wonderful to use.
