Mark Leathers

Mark's first endeavors in this art form began when he gathered the small scraps and leftover pieces of wood from other projects and decided to transform them into something new. By cutting each piece at precise angles, joining them together, and turning them on a lathe, he created his first bowls and boxes.

Encouraged by the enthusiastic response these handcrafted gifts received from family and friends, Mark continued to explore and refine his new hobby.

While searching online for wood supplies and techniques, he discovered that the process he had independently developed already had a name: Segmented Wood Turning.
