Welcome to Episode 41 of the We Are Makers Podcast! In this episode, we had the pleasure of spending the entire day with Christopher Jones, a talented wood turner based in Fort Worth, Texas.

Christopher's journey in woodturning began in April 2021, and since then, he has developed an insatiable desire to create beautiful pieces using this method. His approach to woodturning goes beyond mere craftsmanship, as he seeks to engage in a conversation with the material and explore the use of natural phenomena in his creations.

Before recording the podcast, Christopher generously took the time to teach Jack, our host, how to turn a bowl of his own. It was an incredible learning experience, and Jack gained firsthand insights into Christopher's artistic process and dedication to honoring the trees from which the timber originated.

During the episode, Christopher shares his inspirations, techniques, and the philosophy behind his work. Join us as we delve into the world of woodturning and discover the unique perspective that Christopher brings to this ancient craft.

Thank you for tuning in to the We Are Makers Podcast, and a special thanks to Christopher Jones for sharing his time, knowledge, and passion with us. Don't forget to check out Christopher's about page for more information on his remarkable woodturning artistry.
