Thunder Bay Arts Gallery - Downtown Alpena
5:30 PM - 7:00 PM

Ken has had a passion for working with wood all his life. He has always had a wood lathe and turned wood when he could. It wasn’t until he retired in 2016 and bought a new wood lathe that he really made wood turning a priority. He considers wood turning a form of therapy in that he starts turning a project and gets lost in time making the beauty of the wood come to life. He feels blessed that in Northern Michigan we have some of the most beautiful wood in the world, as well as many species that are great for turning. He feels truly blessed and grateful that Thunder Bay Arts Gallery has allowed him to be included in their group of distinguished artists. He finds it very rewarding to share with the general public the beauty of the wood that nature has blessed us with.
