34 days until War Eagle! I've been hard at work in the shop, turning LOTS of skateboard wood! I want to make sure I have plenty of goodies for War Eagle 2026! Be sure to add it to your calendar, October 15-18.
War Eagle will also be the debut for my 2026 Mel Turns Wood holiday ornaments and Christmas trees!
I'll be doing my best to post the latest turnings daily from now until War Eagle!

Did you know I do custom special orders? Yep, sure do! This is a kitchen set in black walnut that I recently completed for a customer.
I promised a BIG announcement, here it is! It seems like the price for EVERYTHING is up right now. So, I've decided to provide a little economic relief, Mel Turns Wood style! For the time being I will be LOWERING the price on everything I create that I sell at Fayetteville Farmer's Market! Come on out and see me tomorrow, Saturday, from 7-1!
Don't forget that Mother's day is next weekend! All my Basketweave Illusion pieces are 15% off tomorrow, and all purchases of $40 or more will receive a FREE woodturned keyring!
