Tom's Texas Turnings

Based on your requests, we have turned some salt and pepper shakers. These two, turned from Bois d' Arc and Spalted Pecan, would make the perfect gift for the person who has nearly everything or to grace your own table. Check out these and other items at the Midnight Moonlight Market on W Houston in Sherman, TX from 6:00 to 9:00.

People often ask me about what is involved in turning a wooden bowl. These photos show the process from taking the chain saw to a mesquite log through cutting turning blanks, turning the bowl, and putting the shellac seal coat on the finished bowl. Join us at either the Sherman Moonlight Market Friday from 6:00 to 9:00 or Pottsboro Frontier Day Saturday from 9:00 to 3:00 to see for yourself.
