I have been a woodworker for over 25 years specializing in design and construction of furniture and small cabinets along with occasional furniture restoration projects.  More recently, my interests have moved into woodturnings, both utilitarian and decor pieces.  Artistic decor pieces that interest me include segmented forms of bowls and vases; laminated materials to produce unique bowls, vases, and genie bottles; natural wood forms using spalted wood or wood burls.  I am a board member of Northeastern Oklahoma Woodturners Association and also teach introductory woodturning classes within that organization.
