Wood Turnings

Gary Brackett
I have always loved the beauty of our domestic woods and turn most of my pieces from local trees that have been cut down or blown over from storms. I also enjoy the exotic woods and burls from around the world, and am amazed at the incredible beauty of many of these often unheard of treasures. Woodturning has been around for over four thousands years and was considered a utilitarian craft, turning pieces for food service and storage. Today, craftsmen and artists experiment with texturing, carving, and coloring, to further enhance the art, challenging all who participate to explore new techniques and expand their imagination.

A native of Brown County, John resides on a beautiful nature rich property near Georgetown, Ohio. Most of his artwork is designed from wood destined for the firebox. "I love to take a piece of wood that no one wants and turn it into a cherished keepsake."

John is a member of the American Association of Woodturning and the Ohio Valley Woodturners' Guild. His work is primarily with local available wood such as Walnut, Cherry, Cedar, Ash, Osage Orange, and Maple. One of a kind boxes, platters, bowls, and other vessels are produced.
