5 out of 5 starsBeautiful! Exceeded my expectations. It was even more beautiful than the picture and has a nice smooth finish. Super quick to ship with great care taken to protect during shipping. I am beyond pleased and hope to order again soon as a gift for my son.

5 out of 5 starsThis is an extremely beautiful cherry vase. It has great grain pattern and wonderful contrast between the lighter sapwood and the darker heart wood. It also has very nice natural edge. Excellent craftmanship on this vase. The vase was sent out right away.

5 out of 5 starsThe natural edge bark on this butternut bowl really makes it stand out. There is great color contrast between the dark bark, the lighter sapwood, and the darker heartwood. Excellent craftmanship on this bowl. The bowl was sent out right away.

5 out of 5 starsJerry is a true artist. His bowls are completely amazing and everyone that see them in my home wants one. I have bought 6 over the last 7 or 8 years. I kept 2 and gave 4 as gifts. They are spectacular and everyone I have given them to continues to mention them to me for years to come.

From a Piece of Wood to Art
Born and raised in Elkview, West Virginia, Jerry Smith is a carpenter by trade. He has always enjoyed creating and building items for his family. In 2003, with the help of his brother Joe, another woodturning craftsman, Jerry learned the art of woodturning through a process of trial and error. Today, passionate about his craft, Jerry can be found spending his free time in his garage working with his lathe or out combing the mountains for just the right piece of wood.
Each bowl is handcrafted from native West Virginia hardwoods that have been carefully chosen for their unique character. To quote Jerry, “I like to take the most gnarly piece of wood, burls or growths, and diseased wood and discover the beauty and character that lie within.” To add further distinction, the natural beauty of each bowl is enhanced by a distinctive natural edge.
Jerry has displayed his unique creations at several exhibitions including the Mountain State Arts and Crafts Fair in Ripley, WV, the Winterfair shows in Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio, and the Vandalia Gathering in Charleston, WV. His work has also been sold through West Virginia’s Tamarack and his online website, www.JLWoodturning.etsy.com.
