DR. DON’S WOODTURNING

Dr. Don Cutler

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 made by hand.

If you're buying from a big box store, it's only a matter of time before you're plagued with regret from your cookie-cutter purchase. Not wanting any of that for myself, I began creating durable products that can be passed down to generations. Every product I make is guaranteed for a lifetime.

I first learned about wood from my dad, who was a carpenter. You see, he learned from his dad, too (my grandfather). I use a lot of the same tools today that my dad used, and even still have some of his wood.

Hi, I’m Dr. Don

All of my products are made by hand in my studio in Tyler, TX. Nothing is rushed. Since I'm building with my hands, everything has to be done slowly and meticulously.

I only use genuine wood, nothing made from artificial material. A lot of thought and creativity goes into my designs, which is why no two items are alike. Everything is unique and one-of-a-kind.

I also don't believe that you get your talents just by being born into this world. Our gifts and talents are from God, which is why all of my designs have three rings scored into them. It's become my trademark that represents my Christian faith of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.

    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.
