Paul has had an interesting relationship with turning. He learned to turn and sharpen and to make functional bowls from found logs. He also found that he didn't like turning this way, sold his gear and returned to flatwork. In 2020 an online article about segmenting tripped his switch to full on and he returned to the lathe. He now makes a dizzying array of pieces, most of which boggle the mind with their complexity. Best of all, Paul lets his beautiful forms speak before the wizardry of his glue ups. The marriage of the two is a delight to explore!
The WoW family is grateful to have Paul as an active and contributing member and is pleased to honor him as the Artist of the Month for November 2025.
