Intentional. Collected. Turned.
I'm Gene a proud U.S. Navy veteran, and the maker behind FOUNDFORMEDTURNED, a curated vintage home decor and handmade wood studio based on my sesquicentennial farm in Michigan.
From my rural Michigan property, I collect and create pieces designed for thoughtful, grounded living. I hand-turn wooden bowls, vessels, and sculptural decor on my lathe using reclaimed wood, shed antler, and timber grown right here on our land. Each hand-turned wood piece highlights the natural grain, texture, and character of the material — no two are ever alike.
My wife often finds and shares vintage home decor with history and patina, believing that decorating with vintage pieces is not only meaningful, but also a sustainable way to style your home. Choosing reclaimed and secondhand decor reduces waste while adding warmth and story to your space.
This shop blends handcrafted wood decor and curated vintage homeware to offer you a variety of rustic modern home accents, heirloom-quality objects, and unique handmade wood gifts.
The shop reflects how my wife and I live: honoring craftsmanship, embracing sustainability, and creating pieces meant to be used, displayed, and passed down.
Collected Objects. Turned Forms.
Michigan made. Veteran crafted.
