Howdy, all
I've been turning for five or six years, just a bit north of Seattle. For a while I was splitting my interest in turning with vintage lathes, but a tiny workshop has forced me to just turn on one lathe. C'est la vie.
I work almost entirely with locally sourced (side of the road) native woods (Japanese maple? They're EVERYWHERE here!) and seldom plan a piece before I start, so no two finish the same.
