Dan Tilden

All of Dan's work is turned on the lathe, using local woods from Southern Oregon. Typically he turns the wood in the green (when the wood is wet) and then manipulates the drying process to create organic shapes and forms. What some people may think of as a flaw in wood, he uses this to build character in the work and let the wood speak for itself.  Dan has enjoyed his fine craft as a wood turner for 9 years and continues his study with international known wood turners, Christian Burchard and David Ellsworth. Creating in wood is his passion and what he loves to do.
