Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I am a Veteran and a Woodworker. I have been turning wood for about 6 years now and I make anything from pens, spinning tops, wooden whistles, bottle stoppers, bowls, boxes, and more. I am NOT a production woodturner, meaning I cannot do mass items quickly.
I am a self-taught woodworker and turner who, in my travels, has participated in AAW sponsored woodturning groups for about 2 years before being deployed.
My work started in the form of custom pens when I worked at the Pentagon where the movers and shakers of this amazing country do their work with mine. The first question asked of me for years was "Can you engrave the pen(s)?". Well, I'm happy to say that I have upgraded my business to include a Glowforge™ 3D Laser Printer. This allows me to not only engrave but to produce laser-made products and engraving services as well.
