My name is Steve Worcester, and my studio is in Plano,TX.
While I do all sorts of woodturning, my specialty is square turning. What is different about turning square is that once you mount it on the lathe, you essentially don't touch the edge and just cut away the faces. It does make for a more stunning presentation. I feel that I do art in the square because it is against nature. Look around you, what is square? Certainly not plants or animals. When I combine square with round, as with lathe work, it makes a statement about man "attempting" to coexist with nature. At least it sounds "artsy".
A rather simple approach with truly unique results. You can read the article I authored that was published in the American Association of Woodturner's journal by clicking here. You can purchase my products only at finer galleries and at an occasional fine art show in the Dallas area. Recently voted Best of Category for the Dallas Artfest!
(if you have a gallery and are interested in representing me, please email me.)
I have been fortunate enough this year to do many demonstrations of my work, notably, at the American Association of Woodturners National Symposiums in St. Paul Minnesota, and Providence, Rhode Island as well as the Texas Turn or Two Symposiums, and many local clubs. If you are interested in having me demonstrate for your symposium or organization, please feel free to email me at Steve@turningwood.com , all rates are negotiable.
