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 |

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. |
