Woodturning

While it is still a sapling, a tree is subject to the whims of nature. Fungus, insects, wind and rain all have their say in the tree’s life. The resulting lumber reflects this decay and distress. Spalting, grain distortions and many ligneous inclusions make the character of this material unique. Looking for this character is a treasure hunt. Finding these attributes is a joy. Exploiting them is a privilege. This is why we turn.
