Dan is fascinated by how simple turned forms reveal the stunning beauty in the grain, color, and pattern of local hardwoods. His projects use trees felled by storms that might otherwise be destined for the burn-pile. Dan likes to think of this as “re-turning” as it gives him a chance to re-purpose that wood in celebration of the beauty of the wonderful place where he lives. Working in Middleburg, each piece is a bit of the Virginia Piedmont.
