Warren CarpenterWelcome from Warren Carpenter

Woodworking has always been a part of my life, but what else would you expect from a Carpenter?  I have been a homebuilder since the mid 70’s and built furniture and sculpted in wood in my spare time.  Since 1999, my passion has been turning wood.  With a creative eye and an ever-expanding knowledge of wood, I am always watching for those special trees or parts of trees that may someday become a unique turning. There are few things better than finding a burl and figuring out the best way to turn it into one or more pieces of artwork.  Beyond creating "normal or natural" bowls, I enjoy experimenting with new shapes and forms to help me release the natural or not so natural beauty of a piece of wood. The final step in the creation process is the finish that will protect and enhance the wood without making a statement of it’s own.  A finely finished turning, shows all the beauty of the wood, in a shape that is pleasant to the both sight and feel.
