*Accessibility Note: This building was previously restored from a fire. The elevator shaft is currently not functioning and there is an absence of ramps in the space. Because the show is on the 2nd floor, this may pose an issue for those who have mobility needs. We are aware of this need and we apologize greatly if this changes your ability to attend.

Wood Turnings
by
David L. Sutton
Port Farm, Port Republic, VA
General Information: All wood turnings are food safe and water resistant. A mixture of Tung Oil and Citrus Solvent is used to seal the pores of the wood followed by an application of a Salad Bowl Bees Wax. Periodic applications of bees wax will help maintain the luster of the wood and water resistance.
Pricing: Quotes are based on species of wood, degree of difficulty in obtaining the wood, and dimensions of turning.
Guarantee: If you are not satisfied with your purchase for any reason, a full refund will be given.
Custom Turnings: Designs based on current inventory or other dimensions will be used to produce a turning to your specifications. No deposit is required, only a signed contract with your email and telephone number. Delivery can take up to 4 weeks or more.
My Wood Turnings are in homes and bakeries in the following states and countries: AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DE, FL, GA, IN, KS, MA, MD, MI, MN, MO, NC, NH, NM, NJ, NY, LA, OH, OK, OR, PA, SC, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA, WI, Washington, D.C., Australia, Basque Country, Brazil, Canada, England, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Philippines, Poland, Puerto Rico, & Saudi Arabia.

I learned to turn wood in High School Shop back when Montevideo was a high school. After retirement I was able to devote more time to turning. I try to source local native trees as much as possible.
