THE WOODTURNER

Dr. Don Cutler

They just don't make things the way they used to. Microwaves, cars, tools...it's hard to find something that can be passed down to generations. Wanting to put an end to this, I dusted off my dad's woodworking tools about 15 years ago and started creating handcrafted wooden items built to last for generations.

As a third generation wood turner, I know how meaningful handcrafted items are. Whether you're giving a gift or adding to your personal collection, there's so much pride in having a one-of-a-kind item carefully crafted by hand.

    Dr. Don is the best craftsman I have ever worked with! The quality of the wood he used for my bread bowl & cutting board is the best. His products are like works of art, yet still useful and not just for looks.
