I have been a woodturner for ten years and enjoy finding what is hiding inside a piece of wood.  I have always enjoyed working with my hands and have played around with other crafts such as stained glass as well as other forms of woodworking but once I discovered what can happen to a piece of wood when it is put on the lathe, wood turning has become my primary hobby.  I am able to incorporate other activities such as pyrograply, carving and coloring into my work in order to create one-of-a-kind pieces.
