Along with my love of creating photographs, working with wood has given me joy! At a young age I attempted to build things out of wood which continued into my adult years. From a "see-saw" type treehouse in our cherry tree to assorted pieces of furniture to wood construction projects, I loved the feel, smell, and character of wood.

In the next few months I purchased a lathe and some basic equipment, joined our State's Wood Turner's Group - The Woodchucks - and started learning and turning. I've met wonderful people with a similar love of wood turning who have been great guides and inspirations. My enjoyment and passion for this craft continues to grow as I learn more every time I visit the lathe. Here are some of my creations to date:
