WOOD CARVER & TURNER

  • Carving

    Hand carving is a tedious yet zen-like process that I find tremendously enjoyable and rewarding.

  • Bowls

    The beauty of my handcrafted wooden bowls lies not only in their visual appeal but also in their functionality.

  • Platters

    Each platter is lovingly hand-carved from carefully selected wood, resulting in a unique piece that tells its own story.

  • Hollow Vessels

    These vessels are created with special tools . Working blindly inside a piece like these is truly the art of risk.

About John

I am a woodturner, carver, and furniture maker living in Boulder Creek, nestled among the redwoods, oaks, and madrones of the San Lorenzo Valley. I work in a studio shop on the same nine acres where I built my family’s house after the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake. More of my story.
