About Us

Woodturning Background for William O. Redline. Better known just as "Bill". Started turning almost 35 years ago. Mostly spindles, finials, balustrades, etc. Started turning solid bowls almost 15 years ago, and then about 2 years ago started segmented bowl turning.

I have also turned several open segmented bowls, but this is just being worked on and will develop in the next several weeks.

I have to give credit to Lloyd Johnson, William Smith, Ron Hampton, Ray Allen, Fred Holder, Malcom Tibbets, David Springett, and Curt Theobald for their inspiration in their books, magazines, videos and DVD's. To Curt for his spiritual inspiration in his Video "Segmented Patterns". THANKS to all.
