Her whimsical studies are like walking through a natural history museum, curiosity shop, and meditation temple. She loves studying ordinary and mysterious objects found in everyday life and the natural world.

Woodturner, Scott Gaustad

​An acquisition of some old growth redwood slabs inspires his current majestic bowls, plates, platters and objects d’art. Knowing he is working on wood from a tree that was hundreds if not thousands of years old is both humbling and rewarding.

“I continue to be amazed at what happens with an unremarkable round of wood.  I cut it in half, put it on the lathe, and let the shape, grain, and nuances in the wood guide me with my tools.  The results are almost magical.”

~ Scott Gaustad

Bowls - Old Growth Redwood


Wood turner, Scott Gaustad took up his craft about 15 years ago. A retired lawyer from Ukiah, he became hooked with turning wood from the first day a client taught him the process.
