A Passion for Wood


Limberlost Woodturning is a business which has developed from a passion for wood.  My name is Karen Markham and my husband, Brian Markham is a wood turner.  In 2007, we retired and we are living our dream.  We sold our house and business, quit our jobs and moved to the cottage.  We live in a log house, on a lake, in the forest.

We moved to Huntsville and Brian was invited to join a group of local artists as they started the Artists of the Limberlost Studio Tour.  The photo above is in our studio during the tour on August 14, 2010. 

We had two guest artists, Carol-Ann Michaelson who is a potter and Bob McLean who is a painter.  The display of Carol-Ann's beautiful pottery and Bob's Muskoka paintings with Brian's wood pieces, lit up the eyes of each guest as they walked into our workshop.

Carol-Ann's website is http://www.carolannmichaelson.ca/


This is the redwood root burl that we used in the Artists of the Limberlost studio tour brochure.
