I am a mainly self-taught Artisan who became interested in woodturning in 1986 after working for many years as an interior home finisher.  as I explore the uniqueness of birch and maple burls and other interesting pieces that I find on  winter trips into the forest, My artistic talents with wood have grown.  No two pieces are alike – each new piece dictates to me what it will become.

Paul Lapointe *
Each work I create is done with openness, chance and intuition. 
After a limited process  of editing and  direction,  what emerges is to be respected on its own terms and sent out into the world to fend for itself.
Its interpretation is affected by the personal perspective of those who see it, and by the context in which it is seen.
I am comfortable working with organic and natural materials.
