Hand-Turned Wood, Featured in Martha Stewart Weddings & Fine Cooking
Handcrafted wooden cake stands, bowls, plates, platters, salt boxes, cutting boards and more, made one piece at a time in Chester, South Carolina. On Etsy since 2010 and woodworking since 2012.
I'm a member of the American Association of Woodturners (AAW). My work has been featured in Martha Stewart Weddings (our ash cake stand), in Fine Cooking's Oct/Nov 2014 issue (a spalted maple cake stand), and in a rustic-dinnerware article in Cottages and Bungalows. Sarah Engler, an editor with Martha Stewart's Whole Living site, chose one of our walnut cake stands for her own wedding.
Today I work primarily with Walnut, Cherry, Maple and Mahogany. The grain, knots and natural color of each board determine what emerges, so every piece is one of a kind and no two are exactly alike. Most bowls and plates are oiled, waxed and buffed, making them food-safe; vases, boxes and decorative items may receive several coats of lacquer for a high sheen. The wood ultimately determines the finish.
I began making furniture and toys when the grandkids came along, then took up wood turning in 2012 after a wood-turning show in North Carolina and have been hooked ever since.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What types of wood do you use? Each piece is handcrafted from Walnut, Cherry, Maple or Mahogany. Because every board is different, the grain, knots and color vary from item to item, making each piece one of a kind.
Are your wooden bowls and plates food-safe? Yes. Most bowls and plates are oiled, waxed and buffed, making them food-safe for everyday use. Hand-wash only; do not put them in the dishwasher or microwave.
