About this event

I grew up in a small lumber town in Northern California near the Oregon border. As I recall, my first toys were a wood rattle and a chainsaw. My entertainment was fishing and trying to run across logs in the local sawmill log pond without getting wet. I went off to university and studied wood science and technology. My entire career has focused on how to take a tree apart and turn it into new products. While most of my schoolmates tried to grow trees and keep them away from bugs, I looked at trees and saw 2x4's, toothpicks and paper. I have not progressed much since then as now I look at a tree and try to determine how many and what kind of bowls I can make!

I will turn a chunk of cherry into a live edge bowl without losing fingers or bark. Dan
