ShopDog Turnery
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.
The project is a birthday gift and it will be quite a surprise for her. The work is excellent and was completed very quickly. Thanks Jim.
Beautiful chopping block and very good price! So much better than those tiny pictures! Heavy and grainy. Answered my questions and kept us updated. Thank you, dB.
My experience working with Mr. Jim Barbour was perfect. The final product was even prettier than I ever envisioned. He will definitely get all my future business.
I am very happy with finished project. I would use the maker again
Thank you Jim, the pistons look great.
