David Oehrke has been turning wood off and on for the past 20 years. Already an accomplished carpenter and woodworker, for the past 2 years his focus has been to develop his craft artistically.  
Using only local, discarded wood from trees that are no longer living or removed for utility access, he chooses his pieces judicially through careful observation before he brings them to the lathe.  As the wood spins on his lathe, he chooses the right carving tools and allows the wood to speak to him as he carves away all that is necessary to reveal its’ hidden shape and mystery. 
David is no stranger to the creative process; it is the process that challenges and motivates him.  From beginning to end and everything in between, David puts his heart into every piece, bringing forth the objects of art that speak.
