Ray Rountree
 



 

Ray Rountree began woodturning in early 2004,
following Hurricane Isabel. After 4 months of clearing storm-damaged trees on the family farm, he decided to salvage some of those trees and to try his hand at woodturning.

With no training in the Arts, Rountree quickly became a student of the Trial and Error School. (Undoubtedly, his First Career in Sheet Metal Fabrication developed and honed his abilities for 3-bimensional-Perception, which have proved to be an enormous asset).

Rountree now enjoys his new “second career” seven days a week, 6 to 10 hours a day!   When considering how to begin each piece, he looks for the wood to dictate how best to “release” its best attributes.

Using salvaged trees primarily from the family farms, ay Rountree uses only domestic woods, adding “finishing touches” to Mother Nature’s “canvases” already in progress.
