Custom Lathe and Woodworking

As a small family owned business in the mountains of Summit County, Colorado, we are located 9200 feet above sea level. We have watched the destruction of the pine trees over the years due to the pine beetle infestation.

Welcome

Native to western North America, the Mountain pine beetle, also know as the Black Hills beetle or Rocky Mountain pine beetle, has resulted in the loss of millions of pine trees. When a beetle lays her eggs, the tree eventually dies. They quickly move from one tree to next, killing each tree they come in contact with.

This beetle progression does not rot the tree or destroy the integrity and usefulness of the wood however. Rather it leaves the wood with a beautiful bluish tint. Those who love unique rustic appearances will love this wood in all its forms.

We work mostly with beetle kill pine because of the abundance and beauty of the wood. Our specialties include but are not limited to: small, medium and large lamps ranging in size from 12 to 18 inches all the way up to our grand 62 inch floor lamps.

Pepper Mills, (salt shakers to match on request), small bowls and decorative pipes as well as furniture including work benches, desks, planter shelves, kitchen cabinets and beautiful doors. We've just recently added our Novelty page which includes goblets, picture frames, jewelry boxes and more. Be sure to stop by the Lawn Critters page to see all the little critters we are working on to personalize your landscape in a unique and inexpensive way.

Only quality organic Shellac made right on the premises is used on our products. Coming soon, Gift Cards will be available right here on The Turn website. Give a Gift Card to that special person in your life so they too can enjoy one of a kind, unique and creative items in their home or yard.

"On my birthday I open my front door and a box was sitting outside. Inside the box, carefully wrapped was a gorgeous Blue Pine lamp along with a Birthday Card from my mother! She ordered the lamp straight from your website and had this delivered to me! What a wonderful surprise! We just recently purchased our new home and the color and design are just perfect! Thank you so much!"...Angela A
