Handmade in Ohio
Every piece, one of a kind
One-of-a-kind woodturning and custom woodwork — each piece shaped by hand and rooted in a love for the craft.
Based in Mount Vernon, Ohio, Michael brings a meticulous eye and steady hand to every piece he creates. What started as a passion for working with wood has grown into Redbarn Wood Turning — a workshop dedicated to crafting pieces that are as functional as they are beautiful.
From hand-turned bowls that highlight the natural grain of the wood to finely crafted pens and larger custom furniture, each piece is shaped with care, patience, and respect for the material.
Each category of work brings its own unique challenges and rewards — all united by a commitment to quality craftsmanship.
Hand-turned from select hardwoods, each bowl celebrates the natural character of the wood — knots, grain, and all.
Precision-crafted writing instruments and everyday carries, finished to a mirror sheen and perfectly balanced in hand.
Tables, stools, and statement pieces that bring warmth and handmade character to any room in the home.
Have something specific in mind? Let's bring your vision to life with a one-of-a-kind piece made just for you.
A closer look at recent pieces and works in progress.
Every project begins with a conversation and ends with something you'll treasure.
Each piece starts with hand-selecting the right wood — considering grain, species, and character to match the vision.
Using a combination of traditional turning techniques and modern tools, the raw wood takes shape on the lathe or workbench.
Multiple rounds of sanding, finishing, and hand-polishing bring out the wood's natural beauty — ready to be enjoyed for years.
