Robert Smith is a self-taught wood turner living and working in East Tennessee. After 20 years of work as an electrician, he found inspiration in the wood arts. From trinket making to a few fine furniture pieces, Smith settled on a long-term love affair with the wood lathe.
“Through wood turning, I’ve discovered the beauty of wood. From ‘ditch wood’ found on the roadside to exotic beauties from around the world, each piece is an open book if we are willing to learn the language. I primarily work with domestic species, but I experiment with a variety of exotics. No piece of wood is without its secrets. If we peel away the layers, the secrets reveal themselves.” –Robert Smith
