I began turning when I retired from Sonoco paper mill in Glen Miller Ontario. I am basically self-taught. The internet via You Tube was my first introduction to wood turning. After many hours of viewing these videos, I purchased my first lathe and tools. I am now on my 4rth lathe and have thousands of dollars in tools and equipment for my wood turning. I have developed my own style in many of my pieces using colours and resins to enhance the appearance of the piece and its usefulness to the owner. All my work has a food safe finish that will last for years if treated properly. My vases are waterproofed so they can be used for cut flowers without harming the interior. Commissions gladly accepted, bowls, vases, urns on request.
