Southern Turnings LLC

The Southern Turnings products are handcrafted at my home in Stone county, near the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Many of my products are made with local woods, indigenous to south Mississippi. I frequently utilize recycled or reclaimed wood from local cabinet makers. I attempt to use wood gathered from my surrounding community – trees that have been downed by the power company, fallen due to a storm or trimmings taken by local tree trimmers.

All of my turnings are one of a kind, handmade in my small “golf cart” woodshop, abeam the 13th green at Pine Burr. I produce a variety of turnings such as spinning tops, salt and pepper grinders, boxes, hollow forms, bowls and platters but I really prefer bowl turning. I am always thinking about how to present a piece a bit differently than it has ever been presented before.
