I have been doing various kinds of woodworking for many years but just started turning in 2013. After seeing the work of Cecil Sparrow of CHWT, I was able to convince him to mentor me. After turning a lot of bowls, I have started to venture out into other forms of woodturning. Here are some examples of my work.
