I LONNIE COMBS create artistic wood turnings, wood art sculpture, vases, hollow forms and food safe bowls from green wet logs that were removed as a result of storm damage. I, a native Kentuckian, typically use the wood of Kentucky trees to create one of a kind uniuque vessels.

Each wood art item is an individual expression of nature through my artistic hands, therefore each creation is worthy of my signature .  The type of wood, production number, and date are located by my signature on the botton of each piece. 

I preserve the finish of all  wood art items with hard carnaubai wax. To maintain this finish wipe with soft cloth or papertowl.  

I personally show and sell items only at juried fine art shows. Thanks for taking advantage of my website or a fine arts gallery to purchase a wooden art object which absolutely cannot be duplicated by anyone including myself.

 Goals
  • To never attempt to copy another artist's work or duplicate my work.  
  • To asure that any item made by me is beyond doubt an original one of a kind piece of art. 
  • To offer for sale and provide an accurate representation of artistic wood turnings,wood sculptures, vases, hollow forms, and food safe bowls totally designed fabricated by me.

         ARTIST  RESUME  
I began at 15 years of age to accept commission to carve wood sculpture items. Later received a BS in industrial education during which time I became a master cabinet/furniture maker. I taught Industrial education for a short period of time before entering the home construction business. I have  been for many years connected to the housing industry. In 2000 I began to plan for retirement. My goal is to pursue  woodturning as a full time after retirement labor of love. As a  practiceing self taught Master Woodturner having designed and turned over 10,000 hours in the studio, i can actually proclaim that i continue to make a noticeable improvement of design and  fabrication technique on the piece i'm working on over the piece i most recently finished .
