    I began as a finish carpenter specializing in custom trim. The need for railing parts turned me to the lathe. I discovered vessels thru reading and craft shows and from here the rabbit hole opened. Many very accomplished turners and woodworkers have taught me a great deal as well as sharing their taught. I feel I have a great deal to learn and accomplish.
