Tom has been a woodturner for over 28 years and does demonstrations and workshops for woodturning clubs from Colorado to Maryland. He also teaches woodturning classes at the John C Campbell Folk School in North Carolina. One of Tom's favorite activities is standing at the lathe helping someone learn about the craft and find the joy in woodturning.
