Ken Deaner
I have a passion for turning. I am President of the Long Island Woodturners
Association and a member of the A.A.W. and this is my fifth year writing and
editing the clubs’ newsletter. My work is proudly displayed in
exhibits sponsored by the club on Long Island. I am committed to fostering a wider
interest in wood turning on Long Island. I have participated in demonstrations
designed to share my knowledge with others and have taught workshops in bowl and spindle
turning, finishing, and tool sharpening. I have learned a great deal from other turners
including David Ellsworth, Ernie Conover, Al Stirt, John Jordan and Jacques Vesery. As a turner I give a tree a second chance at life. I
take a dead or dying tree and form objects of beauty. My work is designed to move
in unison with the expanding and contracting forces that exist in the wood. Turning
wood involves me in a process that allows me to create while giving me peace and
pleasure. Under Construction
