About the artist

My father was a carpenter, but I had little interest in woodworking.  I suppose you
could say I got into wood turning by accident.  A few years ago when I was in an art
gallery in southeast Texas and saw the work of a local artist who had turned a large
and exquisite bowl from the local Mesquite. By way of a compliment,  I commented to
my wife that I would like to be able to create this type of beauty.  She told my son
that I wanted to learn to turn wood.  That Christmas he gave me a lathe and a few
pen kits. We tried out the lathe that day in the garage. I've been hooked ever since.

I am essentially self taught. I have bought a number of books, videos and a lot of trial
and error before becoming somewhat competent in my work. I started turning pens
and other small turnings but have progressed to larger more artistic items.

Professionally I did International shipping and forwarding...But after 40 years of dealing
with the U.S. Customs Service, Department of Commerce Export regulations,
steamship lines, trucking companies and air carriers and all the problems associated
with shipment co-ordinations, I have decided that wood turning and wood working is
much more relaxing and enjoyable.

In 2005 I took early retirement and moved from Texas, to where I have built a nice
new and spacious shop to play in and plan to devote as much time as possible to my
wood turning.

I do a few Art and Craft shows to market my wares, but would rather spend my time
turning, instead of selling. Hopefully this site will become a successful marketing
strategy to pass along my turnings to appreciative customers.
