Artist Statement

I transform discarded wood—often destined for the landfill—into unique works of art. What began over 20 years ago with a single woodturning class quickly evolved into a lifelong pursuit of craftsmanship, creativity, and continuous learning.

Each year brings new challenges and discoveries in woodturning. I've been fortunate to study under nationally recognized woodturners, always embracing the belief that there’s something to learn from everyone. This journey has exposed me to the vast and varied possibilities within the art form—woodturning is truly limitless.

While I’m especially drawn to creating hollow forms, vases, and boxes, I enjoy exploring a wide range of techniques and styles. In recent years, I’ve expanded my practice to include surface enhancements such as carving, texturing, burning, and the application of paints and metals. These experiments allow me to push the boundaries of traditional woodturning and bring new life to each piece.

My work is a celebration of transformation—of turning the overlooked into the extraordinary.

I hope you enjoy the work that I do.  If you would like a piece, let me know.   918-213-9751 or bradglock@yahoo.com
