A long time professional woodturner and retired woodshop teacher, Doug Schneiter has been a popular demonstrator at regional and national woodturning symposiums for many years. For many years, Doug focused primarily on hollow forms and turnings that incorporate natural voids and imperfections in the wood to enhance the piece.
In recent years, Doug’s focus has been on creating basket weave designs on bowls, platters and hollow forms.
