Dave retired from Operating Engineers, he was a diesel mechanic, welder and fabricator for 40 years. Dave spends some of his retirement hours tending his oyster and clam beds and spoiling his cat. Dave was looking for an art medium now that he was retired, having worked with metal most of his adult life he considered metal sculpture but felt wood was a much softer medium, readily available considering the area in which he lives. Like many woodturners Dave started out working in his garage. He now turns in a large studio, approximately 3300 sq ft. on the shores of South Puget Sound.
Dave has taken his talents, fabricated his own lathe and tools which he uses on his turnings. he does one of a kind pieces as no two pieces of wood are the same. He shows particular attention to form, detail and finishes which best show the fine grain and beauty of the natural woods.
Dave is a member in good standing with the American Association of Woodturners. He is affiliated with the Olympic Peninsula Chapter and the South Puget Sound Chapter. Dave has demonstrated throughout the Pacific Northwest and has been acknowledged in several publications.
