  • Long-time member

    A Maker who has been a valued part of this community for several years.

  • Fast shipper

    Customers say that this Maker ships promptly after completing a project.

  • Great service

    This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.

I have been making from wood for as long as I can remember. I take a great deal of pride in my work and will not accept a commission if I am not entirely sure I can complete it to your satisfaction. ShopDog Turnery is a one-person, one-dog operation making all sorts of custom items, primarily lathe based. This includes bottle-stoppers, wine glasses (with glass or wooden bowls), platters and plates, bowls, boxes, and whatever else springs to mind.

In addition to lathe work I make various flat pieces; tables, specialty boxes, cutting boards and, again, whatever else springs to mind.

I make for the joy of the making, using sustainably harvested and reclaimed or historical woods exclusively.

Molly was the ShopDog, but is no longer with us. She did all the "RUFF" work in the turnery.

    It was great to work with Jim. In my opinion, he expert craftsmanship is matched by his professionalism. He was very accommodating and was attentive to every last detail and the final piece exceeded my expectations. I would recommend him to everyone and I hope to work with him again in the future.

    I started out searching the Internet for a Zelda walking stick. I was unsuccessful at finding one but instead I found this amazing website and woodworker. The artist created an one of a kind piece that was both functional and unique. He was easy to work with communicated well and very professional. In the end he turned the physical reminder of my husband's limitations into something he is proud to use.
