Hello!
I am a retired teacher -- I worked in the public schools in Oakland, California, for about 24 years. Now I live outside of Olympia, Washington. I have been turning for about two years, and love working with locally grown woods. I have worked with maple, oak, walnut, apple, cherry and yew. I have also done some work with different inlay materials -- crushed stone and seashells. I started out with a used Jet 1236 that I picked up at a garage sale. I recently upgraded to a Laguna 1836 and have been enjoying the extra power and capacity.
