Hello and welcome to Jim Garson Woodturning. My name is Jim Garson. I am the artist and designer of  Jim Garson Woodturning. I have been a woodturner since 2005. As with most people who love the art of wood-turning I began my journey as a woodturner making furniture and simple arts and crafts. You will see in the following pages most of my work is done on the lathe but I still enjoy woodworking and like to mix it up once in a while. My love for woodworking began long ago. Growing up in a small town I often found myself wondering around in the many woods, creeks and marshes that were in the area. It didn't take long for me to appreciate and truly love the outdoors. It wasn't till later I learned there was a different kind of beauty laying out in those woods. That within those decaying logs and trees there was something very special, very unique. Something I never noticed until I started wood-turning. As with most things in life nothing is as what it seems. That within each of those once living tree's was an inner beauty that most people never see or appreciate. This site is dedicated to all those things we pass by everyday and never truly see the beauty of. I hope as you look through my work you take a moment and try to see the beauty and the uniqueness along with how each piece has its own special appeal and remember
