5 out of 5 starsOne word - Awesome!! I'm sorry we missed you at Gallery 23. We would have loved to meet you! But we get it. unfortunately we couldn't trust that people in this town would get vaccinated. Most wouldn't even wear masks so we are still quarentining to some extent here. wish it could've been different but we're of an age where we can't rake chances! Thank you for doing this for us. Stay safe!

5 out of 5 starsThe maple wood plate with imbedded colored pencil accent is a beautiful and well-crafted piece. Perfect gift for my Mom, she loves it. The piece delivered matches the description and exceeded expectations. Quick delivery and great customer service.
About AATurning
-
-
Wood lathe cutting tools. The lathe turns the wood at high speed and the tool is carefully moved into position.
-
Carving and piercing tools are used in secondary decoration procedures.
-
Small part of my wood inventory. Often wood is found along the road from storms or tree trimming.
-
Shaping a piece on the lathe. The wood is turning at 400 to 3000RPM as the tool is carefully moved to shape the wood.
-
Work in progress. Often the lathe is used to produce the preliminary shape. Then the secondary work begins.

Artist Statement
For many years I was searching for a material and process to reconnect with my design roots and personal creative expression. Always drawn to wood and furniture building, I discovered woodturning by accident one day wandering through an art exhibition. I noticed a wood art piece that fascinated me. It was made by a famous wood turner and was priced at several thousand dollars. At that moment, I decided that I had to learn the process so I could perhaps create an object like the one in front of me. Within six months I took some lessons and purchased my first lathe. Nothing measures up to the excitement and discovery of peeling away layers of wood and exposing hidden treasures in grain, texture and color. Many woodturners describe this process as an addiction to turning wood. There is no middle ground here... total commitment or no interest. So now after thousands of hours of practicing I am able to share my art with you.
I have been fortunate to have met, studied and received advice and encouragement from many of the leading artists in this medium. This has inspired me to experiment beyond my comfort zone with color, carving and techniques borrowed from other art forms.
Major influences in my work come from studying art history and twentieth century masters. Observing simple and elegant forms, textures and patterns and viewing nature have inspired organic relevance that can all be seen throughout my work.
