Kari and John Green

Hi,  I'm John Green (here with my beautiful wife, Kari) and we live in Spokane Washington, USA. I began wood turning in high school where one of my first projects was a lamp in Black Walnut with Oak tear drop accents. Since then, I have been fascinated with the beauty that lathing can create.

I enjoy turning because it allows me to express my creativity and wood working skill in a truly unique way. Some of the wood I turn comes from my own property, family and friends.  To create truly unique pieces I like to incorporate materials from exotic locations throughout the world.

I have a successful career in computer software, but most of my personal time to pursue my wood turning passion. When I am not at work or wood turning, I can be found gardening, fishing and spending time with my wife and two dogs.  We have one daughter, Karli, who is busy venturing out into the world to become a cosmetologist.

Thank you for visiting my web gallery and feel free to contact me with any comments or questions, I am always interested in hearing comments from my patrons or creating custom designs just for you.
