Turning Trees into
Beautiful Functional Art
John Unruh’s passion for wood working began at age eight when he started making yard signs, puzzles (some with Elvis Presley’s face that he sold to his classmates) and moved on to chests, benches and lathe turning. As with all of us, opportunities led to a long career in management, marketing and advertising and teaching MBA students in several countries. He was finally able to turn his hobby into a profession. John takes great pride and in using a log destined for the wood stove into an object of beauty and function. His pieces are often purchased for mementos of an Alaskan trip or as wedding gifts. For him, this is the ultimate honor.
