Give me wood, I’ll play with it!
Focusing on singular masterpieces for the home.
Heirloom quality pieces that will last more than a lifetime.
Each piece at TAP Woodturning & More is crafted with patience, precision, and a deep respect for the material. We select seasoned, stable hardwoods and apply time-honored turning techniques to create forms that balance strength, function, and lasting beauty. Every curve is refined to reveal the grain’s story; every joint and finish is chosen to protect and enhance the wood for generations.
What makes a piece heirloom quality:
Thoughtful material selection: well-dried hardwoods that resist warping and checking.
Structural integrity: robust joinery, proper wall thickness, and turned geometry that withstands use.
Durable finishes: multi-step sealing and finishing that guard against moisture, heat, and wear while highlighting natural character.
Timeless design: proportions and details that remain elegant beyond fleeting trends.
Repairability: designs and finishes that allow for maintenance and restoration instead of replacement.
We build for longevity and everyday use. These are not fragile curiosities—they are functional bowls, vases, tables, and decor intended to be touched, used, and passed on.
An heirloom from TAP Woodturning & More is more than an object; it’s a continuing story of craft, utility, and warmth that outlives a single lifetime.
