The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

Gray February Life Enrichment Activity


When office workers get totally stymied they clean their desks. When woodturners get stymied due to atmospheric conditions in winter, they reorganize their stock of unused wood. Below are some rough bowls awaiting refinement.


Here are some partially-completed bowls awaiting bottoms and buffing.



This is what TWW has for inventory in birch (left) and maple (right) from the 2005 storm.


This is the cherry and popple (far left bottom shelf) inventory.


This is the oak inventory of unfinished bowls.


By this time you may be wondering if TWW has anything better to do in gray February. Well.......actually he does. He just heard a snapping finger upstairs......."yes dear?".

thats a lot of shavings you made there tww. lot of bowls too. like i said, we could hang em on the fence sit on your deck and sight in our whatevers. of course if you didnt live on the stinkin two track dead end road through the woods you could set up a nice road side stand and wave at all the cars that go by. dont waste youre time though, puttin up a stand on your two track dead end. i suppose you could put a sign out on the other end, aaahhhhh na. as they say in moravia....im gone hfec
