About Ric

I started woodcarving and woodturning a few years ago in my shop on Vashon Island, Washington. I had lots of wood in the woodpile, and some big logs that didn’t fit in the woodstove. I began by making wooden spoons, hand carved a few bowls with axes and knives, and thoroughly enjoyed sharpening all my tools. Then I received a lathe in need of some repair from a friend Ken; and a friend Alden, an electronics wizard, fixed the motor controller and I had a lathe. I have been busy ever since. Woodturning and carving like many endeavors always has a learning curve. The more I turn, the better I get, the more I am excited to learn and refine this craft art.
