Est. in the backyard
Wood pieces turned
one at a time.
I'm Andy Lassner. I turn each bowl, box, and platter on the lathe in my backyard workshop — cherry, walnut, maple, and whatever hardwood happens to have real character.
01
Solid hardwood
Locally sourced walnut, cherry, maple, and oak — chosen block by block for grain and character.
02
Turned by hand
Every piece is shaped on the lathe by me, one at a time — no molds, no production line.
03
Food-safe finish
Natural oils and waxes, hand-buffed. Built to be used every day and to age beautifully.
The workshop, this week
A lidded walnut turning.
"No two pieces are the same. I let the grain and character of each block decide the shape."
The workshop
A hobby in the corner of the yard, grown into a craft.
Every piece I make begins with a single block of timber, chosen for its story — the burl, the spalt, the natural edge. Then it's hours at the lathe, by hand, until it becomes a bowl.
