Just Turning

Just Turning Custom Wood Turning Hi! My name is Charles Evans and I am a hobby wood turner from Greenville South Carolina. When you turn wood, it speaks to you.

My addiction started a few years ago when my lovely wife gave me a lathe for Father's Day, the rest, as they say, is history. I use the word addiction, passion may be more appropriate. There are few things in life more rewarding than taking a piece of wood that was going to be thrown away or burned and giving it a second life as a piece of art. It tells you what it wants to be not the other way ar

ound, and being there to witness it is a fantastic experience. Come with me on this journey and lets discover the beauty under the bark.

Oh well we got rained out today but tomorrow is going to be fabulous! I going to be turning some pieces on site and there are tons of vendors and food ready to go. Oh and if the rain wasn't bad enough, the lady directly behind my tent makes homemade donuts and gourmet coffee!!! That's right, put the fat guy with access to cash right next to the gourmet donut and coffee lady. Its a conspiracy!!
