Monthly featured Artist

Ken Wraight

Ken has been turning since late 2000. In that time he has developed his skills by entering competitions, winning many along the way. He also has demonstrated all over Australia and some in New Zealand and beyond. Today, Ken likes to spend most of his time on lidded boxes, the more technically challenging the better. A first look at his album and one asks, "Where are the boxes?" Look again and take in the wonder of just what a box is in Ken's world. Those are more than just sculptures you are looking at!

The WoW family is grateful to have Ken as an active and contributing member and is pleased to honor him as the Artist of the Month for June 2026.

The World of Woodturners site (WoW) originated in November, 2001. At its start it was the only interactive site where woodturners could post photos and descriptions of their work and engage in discussion about their art. WoW members think of themselves as a family. They are artists who have become friends and who willingly share their talents and skills. This is a place where the novice freely mixes with the seasoned professional in an atmosphere of shared respect. No one is anonymous and everyone uses their own name. From this venue has arisen some incredible art, some of which can be seen in the public gallery. Enjoy this display of fine work. Access to the site itself is at no cost, by obtaining a membership invitation from an existing WoW family member or contacting site administration at wow@hdv.net. Include your name and a brief description of your woodturning experience in the message. The site is owned and maintained by the World of Woodturners, Inc., a non-profit organization.

Site design and hosting is a partnership between Webenology, Inc and Informanix Technology Group Inc.
